lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all, I should like to congratulate the rapporteur on the work he has done, for it cannot have been an easy task. There is, as I have always said, an element missing from the Roadmap. The events of last weekend and this week have once again illustrated that the Roadmap cannot lead to peace without any foreign help. The idea is being mooted that NATO should intervene in the area. I am not a NATO fan, but anything is better than standing by idly. Even medical personnel are now being numbered among the victims. The mutual violence defies all imagination. What is happening in Haifa is terrible to my mind. We visited the area with the delegation and what is happening there is absolutely dreadful. An intervention force is needed to organise the disarmament of all resistance groups, as was done in Bosnia. However, Prime Minister Sharon will only accept this under American pressure, which is absent. The only alternative is a change in policy or in the government of Israel, which the new Geneva peace plan can bring about. Discussion of this in Israel is gathering pace. The plan requires major sacrifices on both sides, as well as courage. However, we need to skip certain steps of the Roadmap; otherwise, we will never reach our goal. As Vice-Chairman of this House’s Israel delegation, I support this new peace plan, and so I would be glad to be present when it is signed. Our group is asking for Parliament’s support in Article 13(b), on which we will vote tomorrow. This afternoon, Parliament welcomed as its guests two initiators, and the interest was overwhelming. These people are bearers of hope in these anxious days. Next month, a delegation of the Knesset will be paying us a visit, and it would be good if we were to organise a joint debate on this. I should like to conclude with the words of Naomi Chazan, who stated this afternoon: to be pro-Israel, you need to be pro-Palestine and . Only the creation of a viable Palestinian state can bring about peace."@en1
