lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the departure of Israelis from the Gaza Strip and from the four settlements on the West Bank represents a fresh chance for peace in the Middle East and for the conclusion of an agreement between Israel and Palestine. It also represents a fresh chance to achieve security for the state of Israel and the creation of a Palestinian state. Ariel Sharon’s government should be given due recognition for its decision, as should the majority of the Israeli people for the backing they have lent to the evacuation of the Jewish settlements. I should like to take this opportunity to make particular mention of the Israeli people’s support for this process. Even though the Israelis are descendants of refugees, they backed the evacuation of 9 000 settlers from Gaza. This is proof of their desire for genuine peace with the Palestinian nation, and of the democratic nature of the Israeli state in the Middle East. The reaction of the majority of Israelis is also proof that the country is a worthy partner for the European Union in the construction of an international order based on respect for human rights and democracy. The fact that Israeli public opinion is in favour of the evacuation, and clearly opposed to anti-Arab attacks, can be taken as evidence that the modern world is not condemned to a clash of civilisations or to the victory of fundamentalist philosophies. The European Union should continue to support the steps taken by James Wolfensohn, the envoy of the Madrid Quartet, to coordinate EU funds with those donated by other sponsors, and to ensure that these funds are used as efficiently as possible. According to Javier Solana, the European Union could act as the third party in the field of border control and customs checks. The Gaza Strip must not descend into terror and anarchy, or turn into a new terrorist bridgehead. Europe must do everything in its power to ensure that the evacuation of the Jewish settlements in Gaza results in negotiations. The latter should at the very least tackle such problems as the continued withdrawal of Israeli troops, the demarcation of the border and the status of Jerusalem, and they should make it possible to implement the two-state solution."@en1
