"Mr President, no one in this Chamber questions the right of Palestinians to have their own state. No one in this Chamber questions the dignity of the Palestinian nation. In this Chamber we are debating whether unilateral recognition by being given UN membership will bring us closer to peace or not. In this Chamber we are asking which Palestine should be sanctioned by the UN, the cooperative one, represented by Mr Abbas on the West Bank, or the one represented by Hamas in the Gaza Strip? The Gaza Strip from which Israel withdrew unilaterally and which today is the source of rocket attacks. In this Chamber, thinking about how we could solve this difficult problem, this lost cause, and how we could build peace, let us not commit the greatest sin that we could commit in politics, that of naivety. Members who have spoken before me have said: ‘something must be done, something must be done.’ That ‘something’ must be deeply grounded in reality, and no unilateral solution will bring the Palestinians nearer either to having their own state or to peace, which is also wanted by Israel."@en1
