"Mr President, we are discussing the Middle East peace process, but is there some process currently in progress that I have overlooked? Unfortunately, there is not. The European Union, like most of the international community, has repeatedly declared itself to be in favour of the existence of two peoples and two states, sharing the space between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean, and having the right to live in peace and security. However, without any dialogue between the parties, who have become entrenched in a mire of hatred and incomprehension which has lasted for 63 years, this has fuelled only extremism and frustration. It is crucial that Europe and the Arab League become much more engaged in the search for a solution, through negotiation, for borders based on those of 1967, while allowing the majority of the Jewish settlements to remain in Israel. The issue of Jerusalem, a sacred city and the future capital of the two states, should be clarified and mutually accepted as a symbol of peaceful coexistence between two peoples who have an obligation to fulfil the prophecy of Isaiah, which describes this as a land of milk and honey. All the countries of the region should participate in resolving the issue of the Palestinian refugees, while the international community and, in particular, Arab peoples, should share the burden of the necessary financial compensation. It is also absolutely essential that a military force, under the auspices of the United Nations (UN) and including US and Islamic forces, among others, be stationed on the ground to ensure that peace is maintained. This is the way to bring about courage and political will."@en1
