lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the situation in the Middle East appears to be one of complete deadlock. Arafat is there in his headquarters – old, isolated, in poor health and unable to lead his people. Sharon fails again and again in his plan to withdraw from Gaza. He appears to have lost touch with both his party and the electorate. The question is that of whether he is the man who can lead Israel to peace. I do not believe he is. The future of the Gaza plan is now extremely uncertain, and violence in the area appears to be increasing. It is worse than it has been for a very long time. I do not believe that these gentlemen can bring about lasting peace in the Middle East. They cannot put an end to the killing. They cannot put an end to the violence and the acts of terrorism, and they cannot bring about what all of us in this House want to see: two states living peacefully side by side and with respect for one another. This conflict has gone on for so many decades and has involved so much suffering, for the Palestinian people, of course, but also for the Israeli people, who live in constant fear of acts of terrorism and of suicide bombs. We have made so many plans, had so many conferences and meetings and held so many debates in this House, but nothing happens. We must consider having a practical international presence in the region that can supervise the withdrawal from Gaza and perhaps also remain there in the longer term. Following the American presidential election, and no matter who wins, the EU and the United States must sit down and formulate a common strategy, based perhaps upon the road map, in which they talk the same language and give out the same signals to these two leaders. The whole world stands to gain from peace in the Middle East, and it is also an important part of the fight against international terrorism."@en1
