". Madam President, elections are like a picture. In fact, they are like an x-ray of a society at a precise moment in time. These elections are a call for realism for all of us and a call for an end to hypocrisy in the international community. Millions of Palestinians are desperate. They have nothing to lose and they vote for those who promise any change, any reform, and an end to corruption. We speak too much about the Middle East and too little about the real situation of men, women, children and elderly people who, along with their families, are desperate. We must respect this will. We must deliver a message of respect to this new majority. It must, however, be combined with a message pointing out that our support is conditional upon the end of violence, violent resistance and terrorism. But we must respect the will of the people. Let us not pretend we will keep showing the same movie and keep the same script, but simply change one of the characters. That would be a recipe for failure. We are faced with a new scenario that requires new proposals, a new commitment and new pressures on both sides. The current situation has arisen precisely because we have not done this. There must be new pressure on both sides of the conflict. We must search for peace, but we must never forget that we are talking about real people."@en1
