lpv:translated text	"Madam President, with a death toll of nearly 500 since the resumption of hostilities in the occupied territories, the material situation of the Palestinian people is worse than it was before the Oslo Accords. Unemployment has reached 50%, the investments in peace are lost, the population is sealed off, i.e., living under surveillance in its towns and villages, and the hopes of an entire generation have vanished into thin air. In face of this disastrous situation, the European Union must raise its voice and call for respect for the law; in other words, we must focus on essentials again, and I thank Mr Patten for having done that so clearly. That means ending the illegal occupation, handing back the territories acquired by force, calling a halt to the settlement of the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights and respecting the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. If the escalation of violence is to stop, if the problem is to be resolved once and for all and the just and lasting settlement everybody is longing for is to be achieved, surely the first step must be to respect the United Nations resolutions? That is precisely what the Pope said in his speech in Damas and I hope that this time the Group of the European People’s Party and European Democrats will not disavow it. In any case, we welcome the fact that recital D and point 13 of the joint motion for a resolution recall that fundamental point. Israel, like any other country, has the right to live in peace within secure and recognised frontiers. But Israel, like any other country, must recognise its international frontiers. That, however, is not the case. During a recent interview, Mr Sharon spelled out his strategic thinking by stating that the war of independence was not over, and I quote "so long as we are not in possession of the entire territory of Israel". The entire territory of Israel? What territory? Faced with after the international community stands by and does nothing. Last Saturday, Israeli shells once again fell on a Palestinian refugee camp. On Sunday, the army killed five Palestinian policemen whom it regarded as suspects. And so the list goes on. Madam President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, it is now time to say, loudly and firmly, ‘ ’ Enough is enough, Mr Sharon."@en1
