lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the death – the murder – of Rafik Hariri was a tragedy not only for his family, but also for the Lebanon. I was myself able to meet him on many occasions and came to value the greatness of his vision. We now have to ensure that there are no more such tragic developments in Lebanon, and one thing, we have to concede, is clear: it was Syria that originally helped to establish peace and to stabilise the country, but, as happens so often in this life, failure to discern the signs of the times can mean that, instead of stability, new conflicts are sparked off and peace is in check. That is why Syria must leave, taking its armed forces and its secret services with it. It should also read the signs from the interior: the old guard in Syria is still in fact standing in the way of development in its own country. Secondly, here are a few plain truths about Hezbollah. Hezbollah also helped to drive the Israeli forces out, to restore the country’s autonomy and to give it a stable peace. Here, too, though, the same is true: if Hezbollah does not see the way the wind is blowing and is unwilling to help establish peace and stability, then there is no helping it, for nobody in this House will be willing to support it. Let me repeat, then, that if Hezbollah is prepared, as a political force, to establish peace and stability in the region, then it deserves a degree of respect. If it is not, then it will get none whatever. The last thing I want to say in this debate is that Syria, too, is entitled to peace, stability and territorial integrity, but it must be prepared to conclude real peace with Israel, to acknowledge not only its own right to security but also Israel’s, and to help Israel to live in peace and security in the region. If Syria does that, we will be able to support it in that, but this is a clear and unequivocal demand that we must make of it."@en1
