lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I share with other Members the condemnation, shock and dismay expressed by Lady Ashton at the situation in Syria. As Chair of Parliament’s Delegation to the Palestinian Legislative Council, I want to focus my remarks, though, on the Middle East peace process. I very much welcomed the Council conclusions of 14 May committing the EU to the two-state solution, giving Palestinian people the right to nationhood and self-determination while, at the same time, respecting the Israeli people’s right to live safely within their own borders. However, the window for a two-state solution is closing rapidly as the peace process is faltering. Israel continues to develop and construct illegal settlements – illegal under international law – on the West Bank. Planning and zoning laws have been used with impunity to dispossess the Palestinian people of East Jerusalem and destroy infrastructure throughout the West Bank, often built with EU funding. Mining and quarrying activities deemed also to be illegal under international law are continuing apace at a cost of 720 000 to the Palestinian authority. Lady Ashton, I would like to ask you, how can we ensure that there are consequences for the breaches of international law? How can we preserve East Jerusalem as a future capital of two states? How can we ensure that there will be a cessation of evictions and demolitions in Area C? How can we prevent the spread of illegal settlements? And can we ensure the release of administrative detainees unless they have actually been charged with criminal offences under law? We need to ensure that there are consequences for the breaches of international law and I would like to know, Lady Ashton, how you are going to deal with this?"@en1
