"Mr President, after a peace process which has been dragging on for nearly 20 years, the only conclusion we can draw is that all attempts to reach a two-state solution have failed. I, therefore, view the question which the Palestinian Authority has raised as a last-ditch attempt to break the deadlock. Because even after recognition, which would obviously be hugely important on a symbolic level, the negotiations would still have to continue. The only difference is that then the two parties would be more equal than they are now. Of course, it is of the utmost importance that the international community does not show any signs of division. The European Union should focus all its efforts on this. However, what can we say about the position of the United States and President Obama? Last year, he called on the General Assembly to recognise an independent Palestine, but is now threatening them with a blockade. However, I also find the position of the High Representative highly ambiguous, because we hear that she is trying to convince the Palestinian Authority to abandon the initiative. I wonder, though, whether this is being done to try to disguise the internal division in the European Union? The European Union must use its right to speak to send out a strong common signal in the United Nations, because we need a breakthrough now."@en1
