lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, the report we are considering today covers a number of topics that relate directly to the Israel-Palestinian situation. Of the 12 European Neighbourhood Policy action plans mentioned, two are for Israel and the occupied Palestinian Territory. Specifically in relation to these, the report says that there has been ‘a significant deterioration in the human rights situation, in particular as regards the right to life and personal security and the right to personal freedom and safety (especially relating to arrest, detention, search procedures, and torture and ill-treatment during interrogation). Both Palestinian and Israeli authorities are responsible for human rights violations’. I have been very heartened by the reasoned and considered nature of much of the correspondence I have received from people who are obviously very passionate and moved by the troubling situation in the region. These matters are being raised generally with Israel in the regular political dialogue meetings, and specifically in meetings of the EU-Israel informal working group on human rights. It is because of this that I broadly support a continuing dialogue with Israel, while strongly condemning human rights abuses on both sides. Meanwhile, let us continue to assist the suffering people of Gaza and the West Bank by effective aid. We have a road map in which the EU and the US are involved. With the election of a new US President, it is time to move this issue to the top of our external affairs agenda. We must bring about a two-state solution, with full respect for human rights and all UN resolutions, with great urgency."@en1
