"I voted today in favour of this resolution because it strongly condemns Israel’s attack on the humanitarian flotilla bound for Gaza, and demands that an international and impartial inquiry be carried out in order to shed all possible light on this deadly assault. This is a firm stance that demonstrates our common desire to see justice served, and I welcome that. For too long, Europe has been an economic giant, the leading provider of development aid to the region, but a political dwarf, incapable of having a decisive influence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so as to enable a peaceful solution to be found.
Today, thanks to the perseverance of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, this House is expressing its clear, strong position in favour of the immediate lifting of the Gaza blockade, which has resulted in a genuine humanitarian disaster. Europe must face up to its responsibilities. It has a duty to play a decisive political role in order to finally achieve concrete results in view of the creation of a viable Palestinian state."@en1
