lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this morning, we discussed transatlantic relations. We failed to note that the weapons used by the Israeli army are weapons paid for by US taxpayers and that they have been used to destroy buildings and institutions belonging to the Palestinian Authority which are financed by European taxpayers. This is also an established fact of transatlantic relations. I feel that the time has come to stop complaining and I agree that we should try to define how far we can move forward. The International Conference must have an aim, namely to prepare the ground so that, before the end of the year, the UN General Assembly can make a formal declaration on establishing a Palestinian State, following the same model used establishing the Israeli State. It is the United Nations, therefore, which is assuming responsibility just as it assumed this responsibility for the Israeli State, which proved to be fair for some and unfair for others. All that has been said regarding the need to help establish a Palestinian Government is based on straightforward common sense, because a State needs a government. Given this context, I feel that the statement by the Likud is to be welcomed, for the simple reason that it at last requires Israeli society and the Israeli leaders to shoulder their responsibilities. Israeli political leaders have been saying for years that they support a Palestinian State whilst doing everything they can to thwart it. In this context, I believe that the statement by the Likud will stimulate the debate, because peace, one of the keys to peace, is to be found in Israeli society; the 70% of Israelis who say that they are in favour of the Palestinian State must take political action! This action is urgently needed so that those Palestinians who support the recognition of the Israeli State stop the massacres against Israeli nationals. If we achieve this, the UN declaration will be perfectly acceptable, because it creates a political framework which forces everyone to decide to take action. I would therefore like the political representatives of the European Union, who are paid by the European taxpayer, to say firmly to the American and Russian representatives that the problem can be resolved by the UN making a formal declaration on establishing the Palestinian State."@en1
