"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Gaza Strip is being threatened with strangulation. Subjected to a strict Israeli blockade since 2007, in 2009, Gaza’s population suffered the bloody attack that prompted the Goldstone Report, which was damning for the Israeli military authorities accused of war crimes.
Today, it is the Egyptian authorities that have set about building an underground metal barrier in order to prevent any supplies getting through the tunnels. When will there be a stop to this collective punishment imposed on men, women and children, whose suffering is being manipulated on a political stage from a different era?
The European Union must act. The European Union has all the trumps as Israel’s main economic partner and the principal contributor of aid to the Palestinian Territories. The Israeli Government will only accept a change of policy under pressure from the international community.
The EU can play a decisive role in the resumption of the peace process and in the creation of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state within the borders established in 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital."@en1
