"Many people would like to see a new role for European policy in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We all want Europe to promote more effective peace initiatives than have happened so far and to take on a political role more in tune with our financial commitments in the area. To achieve that in such a complicated and difficult situation, the European Union must be seen as credible and unbiased by both parties. Both the Palestinians and the Israelis must be convinced that the Union is only interested in peace and is not prejudiced against either side. Do we really think that the European Union can be regarded as a credible partner by Israel in light of the recent consensual positions reached by the Foreign Affairs Council last May, which totally ignored Israel’s legitimate security demands, surrounded as it is by hostile countries? At a time when the hopes raised by the Arab Spring are being dashed and we see Islamic extremism prevailing in the Maghreb countries, what security assurances can be given by the new Palestinian state if it comes into being, which, by the way, is what we all hope will happen?"@en1
