"Mr President, the other day, the
observed that the EU’s Middle East policy lies in ruins, and
complains about the EU’s impotence in the Middle East.
Listening to the Council’s and the Commission’s representatives, one can understand why. Fine words and self-praise, but no action. It is so much more gratifying to listen to MEPs and leaders of the political groups demanding that action should be taken, that the options under the Association Agreement should be used and that, in particular, peace-keeping troops should be despatched.
There is no question but that we must send tens of thousands of peace workers, both civilian and military, irrespective of whether the United States and Israel say we must not. We must not send them to Israel and we must not bomb Israeli towns. We must respond to the Palestinians’ request for troops to protect Palestine.
There can be no impediment in international law to sending tens of thousands of military and civilian peace workers to Palestine at the request of the Palestinians. Why are you so afraid to act, Mr Solana and Mr Patten?"@en1
