"Mr President, the debate currently taking place, including the debate in this Chamber, is proof – if proof were still needed – of how different and divergent the proposals that have been made are. The sad conclusion we must draw is that there is currently no possibility of stopping the war in the Middle East. In any case, in the Middle East, two men – Ariel Sharon and Yasser Arafat – are continuing to jeopardise the stability of the world today, and although they talk of peace they do not genuinely desire it, they are shying away from it, avoiding it, for neither of them want peace: both hope, or believe they will win the war, one with superior military force and the other with suicide bomb attacks. The effects of this crisis in the Middle East are starting to impact on our countries too, as Mr Pasqua said just now. Racism is on the increase and is attacking the rest of the world, Europe and the United States, leading to dangerous misunderstandings and differences of opinion between these two continents, between Europe and the United States. It is difficult to envisage any sort of solution but, as Mr Solana said just now, we need to establish a political perspective for the future, and I feel that the idea of a sort of international Marshall plan aimed at resolving at least a small part of the problems of the Palestinians could be a useful contribution. The Italian Government has developed an initiative of this kind, an initiative to support the economy in the Middle East and, in particular, the Palestinian economy, an initiative which Mr Berlusconi recently proposed to all his European colleagues. I feel that all those who are calling and hoping for genuine peace in the Middle East must support this proposal."@en1
