".
In my view, the European Parliament’s debate on the situation in the Middle East lacked objectivity, did not take a step back from events and was extremely biased against Israel. I therefore refused to support the resolution tabled at the outcome of the debate, as this resolution also failed to be impartial.
In recent days, the Israelis have, admittedly, taken very harsh measures, but these have been in response to an extremely tense situation that has arisen as a result of cruel, indefensible acts of terrorism, which the Palestinian Authority has still not condemned in a clear and firm manner.
The underlying cause of this extreme situation is the failure to fully apply Resolution 181, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 29 November 1947, which provided for the creation of two states, one Jewish and the other Palestinian. However, the second state has not been established, firstly because of the aggression of Arab states towards Israel and secondly, because these same states want the Palestinian people to continue to be disillusioned and resentful.
That is why we must revisit Resolution 181, which provides for two states, both of them secure and recognised, in order to restore a fair and lasting peace in the Middle East. Furthermore, the holy city of Jerusalem should be granted international status, and its governors should involve representatives of the various religions."@en1
