lpv:translated text	"Madam President, not the least of the things that the Constitution is supposed to do is to establish a basis on which we are better able to organise a common foreign and security policy, but it is no more than a precondition for this and not something without which it cannot happen, nor can we wait until the Constitution is in place before taking certain steps. Knowing as I do, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, your own very deep personal commitment, I would ask you, despite your other duties, to do something more for the Middle East over the coming weeks. Yesterday’s debate was under the heading of ‘40 years on’; 40 years on, we are still not yet giving sufficient support to those forces on both sides, among, that is, the Israelis as well as the Palestinians or Arabs, who are campaigning for peace. Over the past few days, I have been reading a number of commentaries by Israelis such as Dan Diener, Tom Segev, Meir Shalev and Yaël Dayan, all of whom are forthright advocates of the ‘land for peace’ approach, to which the Palestinians have now committed themselves, as also – under the Saudi plan – have the Arabs. It follows, then, that the European Union must, by the policy it pursues, make unambiguously clear its support for all those forces – including the present Palestinian Government – that stand by these principles and really do want to take the battle to extremism and terrorism. We must do away with the artificial division that consists in talking to some and not to others. There is a coalition government in Israel and a coalition government in Palestine, both of which need our support if the conditions for the peace process are to be created, and so, Mr President-in-Office, I ask you – not least because I know how much you are committed to this – to lend your support, in the last days of your Presidency of the Council, to all those forces that are willing and able to resist violence and make a peace process possible. Were it to do this, your presidency would not only be working for a Constitution, but also creating the conditions for a common foreign and security policy to be started in the Middle East."@en1
