"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, after three days of rain in the occupied territories, this wall, which, as all of you have said, is illegal, caused a build-up of water that swept away the bodies of two dead brothers at Bi'ilin. Israeli soldiers prevented excavations to let out the water; the bombardment of northern Gaza has destroyed agricultural areas and killed civilians. Nablus and Hebron are surrounded and incursions are being made there. We have a great deal of responsibility, and we cannot keep on repeating the cliché about two peoples and two states. There are not two peoples and two states: there is one state and something in development, a territory that is being constantly torn apart, both by this illegal wall and by force. Kadima and the Labour Party might represent an opportunity. I am in favour of exploiting all opportunities, but not in silence: we have to ask, and ask forcefully. For two years now Hamas has declared and observed a ceasefire, and has halted its activities. Let us be extremely clear about this: for the last two years Hamas has not undertaken any activities, and must never do so again. Let us not, however – as we have since 1980 – keep on repeating the line about two peoples and two states, while all the while bearing witness to what is, quite simply, the theft of Palestinian land. We need to be active with regard to Hamas, but also with regard to Israel, so that it understands that the international community has meaning."@en1
