".
Ladies and gentlemen, I share the widespread disappointment in the House that President Mahmoud Abbas has not been able to deliver his address here. I personally had a meeting scheduled with him and am saddened that this has not taken place. In any event, Commissioner Ferrero Waldner had a meeting with President Abbas yesterday, and, on the Commission’s behalf, expressed our support for the quest for a peaceful solution to the Middle East conflict.
Let me state very clearly that we unequivocally condemn all forms of violence, regardless of which side perpetrated it, and we call on all parties to act responsibly and to exercise the maximum restraint. We share the concern expressed by some speakers at the extremely dangerous situation in the region.
We must of course highlight the fact that some Europeans have been taken hostage and that the interests of the EU and of some Member States in the territories have been attacked.
I wish to point out that nobody has helped the Palestinian people more than the European Union. The EU has been and continues to be a donor to the Palestinians, and so we appeal loudly and clearly for violence against EU interests or against our nationals to be avoided at all costs and call on all sides to exercise restraint, in order to prevent the situation from worsening. We shall work together to ensure that the people of Israel and the Palestinian people can live in peace."@en1
