lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I must say how grateful I am to the Commission, as well as to Mrs De Keyser, Mr McMillan-Scott and our whole delegation, for their sensitivity and intelligence. I believe, however, that the failure to publish the report on East Jerusalem – which in actual fact is the focus of the debate – and the failure to adopt appropriate measures effectively gave Hamas a helping hand, because there is no doubt that certain truths should not be left unspoken. I think it was on the cards that Hamas would win. Much of the responsibility for that lies with the international community, which, after the Oslo agreements were signed, was incapable of ensuring that international law would prevail and be respected. Thus it neither implemented the ‘two peoples, two states’ principle, nor guaranteed Mahmoud Abbas sufficient support, since funding alone is not enough – what the Palestinians want is political support. Nor did it, at the same time, exert the necessary pressure on Israel to prevent the growth of the settlements and the annexation of land. In particular, although the international community had the strength needed to exert pressure, I feel that it did not succeed in ensuring that negotiations would effectively be resumed. Nonetheless, the Palestinians managed to respond with a democratic electoral process in which the people did take part, expressing their need for life, justice and peace. For me as a woman, the Hamas victory is a terrible outcome; I see it almost certainly, however, as a protest vote against al-Fatah, which held sway over Palestinian society for many years but was unable to keep its promises, and also against corruption, although that is a somewhat demagogical issue. In my view, it really is the European Commission’s and the international community’s task to rekindle the dialogue and to keep it alive, thus ensuring that both Hamas and Israel can put a stop to violence and acknowledge the ‘two peoples, two states’ principle in practice."@en1
