"I voted for the motion for a resolution on the situation in Gaza. However, I feel that the text is not entirely satisfactory. It is certainly important for Parliament to make its voice heard in relation to the events which occurred on 31 May. An inquiry is obviously needed, with credible international involvement, in order to shed light on the events which took place on that date. It is also important for Parliament to demonstrate that it is interested in the humanitarian situation in Gaza, bearing in mind too Israel’s legitimate concerns about its own security. However, I do think that it is paradoxical for us to ask for an inquiry, while also describing the events which took place as a breach of international law, as in point 2. I also have a problem with us talking about ‘collective punishment’, which is the expression used in Recital C. If the European Union wants to play a role in the Middle East, it is vital for it to be seen as a neutral mediator. In my view, we will not make progress in finding peace by making such statements."@en1
