"Last week, the so-called Middle East quartet, which includes the EU, decided to set up a temporary international mechanism to provide humanitarian aid for the Palestinian people. This decision follows moves, of which the United States was the leading proponent, to isolate the Palestinian Authority, namely the suspension of funding for the running of the Authority. In the context of the occupation and oppression by the Israeli Government, this measure will have the objective effect both of hastening the collapse of the Palestinian Authority – and consequently public services such as education and health – and of exacerbating the already desperate situation in which the Palestinians live, a situation that the United Nations had warned would arise.
This unjustifiable punishment of the Palestinian people is happening at a time when the Israeli Government, having breached all agreements, is continuing to pursue its policy of violating international law and of failing to comply with United Nations resolutions, is maintaining its military occupation, is continuing to build the fence and is threatening once again to strengthen settlements in the West Bank.
Mr President, the time has come to put an end to what are effectively sanctions and to take political initiatives that promote compliance with international law and with United Nations resolutions."@en1
