"Madam President, the day before yesterday the Council took a very clear position on the escalation of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The fact is that the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the EU Member States are placing political responsibility for the ongoing Palestinian suicide attacks on Israeli citizens where it belongs: with the Palestinian Authority. Because of this, they demanded three things of the Palestinian Authority: the dismantling of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist networks, the arrest and prosecution of all persons suspected of terrorist activities, and a public announcement in Arabic of the end of the Intifada, the Palestinian uprising.
Regrettably enough, I cannot consistently trace the Council’s political clarity with regard to Palestinian terrorism back to the recommendations of this Parliament. I am therefore standing by my Amendment No 6 even after the coordinators’ consultation this morning. The linking of support for the Palestinian Authority with the demands of the Council. This amendment meshes with the spirit of the compromises that resulted from this consultation. I therefore ask my colleagues to support this vote by roll call.
Madam President, if this Parliament does not clearly follow the same political line as the Council with regard to the insidious spread of Palestinian terror, the evil forces of 11 September will capitalise on this, because they are really not interested in what the European Parliament expressly states in this recommendation: a safe Jewish state in the Middle East."@en1
