lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Europe must have a basic goal for establishing peace in the Middle East and for combating terrorism, including by political means. That goal is to guarantee both the existence and security of Israel and the creation of a Palestinian state. Significant steps have recently been made in that direction, thanks to the work of Ariel Sharon and Abu Mazen. Is the electoral success of Hamas likely to be a setback for us? Is it likely to turn Palestine into a new theocratic, fundamentalist regime? The words of Mahmoud Zahar, the Hamas spokesman, who promised a new Palestinian Government without secular members because ‘they bring in AIDS and homosexuality’, certainly do not bode well, and nor do other statements about Israel. Europe has a duty to make its voice heard, through strong political initiatives to force Hamas to keep to the path that has already been embarked upon. Europe will have to make the new government realise that if it were to think of threatening Israel’s existence it would lose the funds intended for Palestine. If Hamas chooses the path of intolerance, it will cause its people great harm and have a negative effect on the outcome of the Israeli elections. Let us therefore support Abu Mazen and welcome the idea of his visiting the European Parliament. Let us also stand up for the rights of Christian Palestinians: they are a minority threatened with extinction in the Middle East, but are an important factor for peace and stability. Let us work confidently so that the ideas of Anwar Zaboun, who said that negotiations with Israel are or forbidden by religion, do not prevail. I am certain that the Palestinian people do not see things in that way."@en1
