lpv:translated text	"In December last year, the European Council demanded that the Palestinian Authority dismantle the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist networks, arrest and prosecute everyone suspected of being involved in terrorist activities within its area of authority and publicly announce, in Arabic, the end of the intifada. Mr President, four months on, we have to conclude that Arafat and the other Palestinian leaders have not met this demand by the EU Member States in any way. What is worse, evidence is mounting that the President of the Palestinian Authority is directly involved in acts of terror against Israeli citizens. What conclusions does the EU draw from this line of action, being, as it is, the Palestinian Authority’s largest donor? Should we not seriously consider the option of financial sanctions in this instance? It is legitimate that the Sharon administration, albeit only after numerous, extremely bloody Palestinian suicide attacks, has finally eliminated the Palestinian terrorist networks of its own accord. Western diplomacy is now bringing heavy pressure to bear on Israel to dismantle the military operation. However, what security guarantee do the EU and its Member States offer Israel? Can Europe promise that after the withdrawal, the Palestinian terror against the residents of Israel will not flare up again in all its intensity? I call on the Europeans the Americans to specifically put this nightmare vision for the potential victims, the Israeli citizens, on the agenda tomorrow during their summit meeting in Spain. Finally, the escalation in the Middle East has meanwhile led to extremely shameful expressions of blatant anti-Semitism in Member States of the European Union. I call on all the European institutions to unreservedly condemn these, and hope that the Member States can counter this anti-Semitism effectively."@en1
