"Mr President, the purpose of this debate is not to set ourselves up as prosecutors and judge what we are not qualified to judge. Our aim, a twin aim as it happens, is, first of all, to help shed light on the responsibility of the different parties in the Gaza war and, beyond that, looking more to the future, I would say, we must ask ourselves what we can say and do today to help rebuild a dialogue.
As it happens, I do not think that the Goldstone report is constructive in this regard. Furthermore – and it is worth recalling because it is rare – this was the conclusion reached by all the European countries, none of which have supported it in front of the worthy prosecutors and great defenders of freedoms and of human rights that are China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Cuba, to cite just a few examples. The report is much debated, it is biased and, whether we like it or not, it will not help us move forward.
On the other hand, it is up to Israel to choose to assume its responsibilities as a democratic state and to shed full light on the war in Gaza. At stake are its military, diplomatic and media interests – those interests that the Hebrew state was able to establish in the past."@en1
