"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as Vice-Chairman of the Delegation for relations with Israel, I feel vicarious shame for the unilateral policy of Prime Minister Sharon, who is adding more and more fuel to the fire in the Middle East; indeed, throughout the world, as this is not a case of an isolated conflict; quite the reverse. The illegal executions of Hamas leaders will have a boomerang effect, and new leaders are always waiting in the wings. Sharon is only able to do this because of the unconditional support he obtains from President Bush. Things agreed in Washington are an affront to its partners in the Quartet, and the EU in particular. To my knowledge, the European Union has not been consulted once. We, the European Parliament, must demand that Javier Solana puts his foot down in his dealings with the Quartet.
If the USA now wants support for Iraq, it must in turn come up with support for an international force in the Gaza Strip following an Israeli withdrawal, and in the West Bank as the following step. Solana could also put the Geneva Accord on the table. After all, Colin Powell has approved this, and it has his support. This must also be clarified. Avraham Burg, who was present in this House yesterday, once said that the roadmap had to be produced in Geneva. I think that, as a signal to the Palestinian people, we can demand an increase in the humanitarian aid we give to this impoverished people."@en1
