"Mr President, peace in the Middle East hinges on a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and on the entire European policy concerning strategic partnership. When Cyprus joins on 1 May, Tel Aviv will be half an hour's flight away from the European Union, and we will be direct neighbours. During the recent visit by Parliament's delegation, we noticed that many Israelis have high expectations of the European Union. They are expecting us to take a leading role in the region.
Israel is being ruled by a man who rides roughshod over international law and who, in the present conflict, continues to pour oil upon the flames. He is doing a great deal of damage to his country and gives international terrorists an excellent excuse for their actions.
According to the Council's declaration, the European Union is consistently opposed to extrajudicial executions. In my view, the only consistent stance would be to review the trade relations and use our economic power as a carrot and a stick – but not only on Israel."@en1
