". Mr President, Mr Winkler, Mrs Ferrero-Waldner, ladies and gentlemen, I confess to having doubts about the way in which EU policy is shaping up in the difficult situation in the Middle East. I am worried about the fact that the decisions made by the Council are liable not to facilitate even a gradual transformation of an objectively difficult situation; I am worried about the risk of further radicalisation that may result from the desperation in Palestine. I am not disputing the fact that the requests directed by the Union to the new government in Palestine are fair; it is the means used for this purpose that puzzle me: the Palestinian people must be able to count on our full economic, political and moral support. You say that you want to continue to guarantee the provision not only of emergency aid, but also of education and healthcare. I do not understand how this can be done if the administration is completely excluded. We also need to pay a great deal of attention to the delicate – and I stress the word delicate – relationship between the presidency and the government in Palestine. I will conclude by making three suggestions: we should work towards consolidating Hamas’ decision to call a truce, a decision that has also been confirmed; we should work towards developing, and devolving responsibility to, all of the actors involved in the Palestinian political framework, even with a change in the government in prospect, and propose to both of the negotiating parties that they acknowledge the agreements and the road map; we should work towards achieving a new chapter of mutual legitimisation with the prospect of a definitive solution in mind. In this context, we can only confirm our opposition to any unilateral initiative that might jeopardise the possibility of finding a solution to unresolved issues such as that relating to borders, up to and including the status of Jerusalem."@en1
