"The Menéndez del Valle report on the paths to peace in the Middle East rightly supports the Road Map of April 2003, which should lead to the existence of two neighbouring states, Israel and Palestine – democratic, sovereign, viable and living in peace within safe and recognised borders. It even adds good proposals, such as the proposal to declare Jerusalem part of the ‘cultural and religious heritage of mankind’, the dual capital of Israel and of the future Palestinian state, with an international statute respecting all the religions (paragraph 53).
To my great regret, I had, however, to abstain from voting on this report, for, once more, it tends to put everything on the same level: the Palestinian terrorist attacks and the Israeli military responses. It even congratulates the Palestinian Authority for having stuck to the ‘Road Map’, even though Yasser Arafat is supporting the terrorist organisations behind the scenes.
Finally, this report condemns the ‘Security Wall’ built by Israel when, in point of fact, this wall should constitute a necessary separation in the process of the Palestinian state’s emergence. Certainly, there is room for discussing the route to be taken by the wall, but that is a detail to be negotiated should the need arise, and not a questioning of the principle."@en1
