"Mr President, Mr Solana, Minister, Commissioner, I have two sentiments that I would like to express. The first is, of course, the emotion that the House feels in response to the account of what is happening in this part of the world, which concerns us all. The successive attacks and killings have led to war; this is what we are talking about here, war. It is war that involves many horrific acts of violence. My second sentiment is, when I listened to Mr Solana, who spoke with a great deal of honesty – and I am more than happy to acknowledge this – and impartiality today, what I felt, as well, was a certain feeling of helplessness. It is true that the European Union has so far been unable to find the resources required in order to put all its weight behind finding a solution which would bring an end this situation. Thirdly, this is not a straightforward matter, of course, and I am perfectly aware of this. I must, however, reiterate a number of things, particularly the fact that peace was almost achieved and that the reason it was not is precisely because the agreement proposed by Mr Barak was rejected, and since then the situation has only deteriorated. I am convinced that the proposal by the Arab countries will not bring an end to this situation either. The only way to bring this tragic situation under control is by sending a military intervention force to the area and the international community must also make a firm commitment. We must be all the more attentive as there is a risk that this situation could have consequences in our countries, where we are beginning to see confrontations between representatives of various communities. We are also seeing an increase in some racism, and anti-Semitism, which is unacceptable. This is why I shall wholeheartedly support the proposals that will be made to send a peacekeeping force to the Middle East and to obtain the resources needed to put an end to this situation."@en1
