"Mr President,after a brief period of relative calm, in the Middle East matters are beginning to become more strained. The new Egyptian administration does not feel too bound by the agreements concluded by President Mubarak with Israel. Inspired by the successes of the Arab Spring, the Palestinians decided to take the final step in the legalisation of their efforts to building an independent state, and addressed their request for the recognition of their rights to the United Nations. The people of Israel, who have for many years been squeezed by high taxes to ensure their defence, are demanding a more dignified and peaceful life. The Israeli Government wants to see nothing, hear nothing and negotiate with nobody, instead occupying more and more Palestinian territory. In the Islamic world, Israel has never been a very popular country and to be under the illusion that this early Christian island in a vast Islamic sea with an arrogant policy of occupying Arab land would not sooner or later provoke an open military conflict, would probably be naive.
I therefore believe that in order to maintain peace in this area, we should use all our diplomatic options and abilities to bring participants to the negotiating table in order to build two independent friendly countries."@en1
