"This resolution concerning EU policy on the West Bank and East Jerusalem reaffirms the EU’s commitment to the peace process between Israel and Palestine. I welcome it, although I do regret that the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) put to the vote an amendment based on the responsibilities of Hamas, which therefore creates an imbalance in the resolution and once again gives Israel an excuse to keep things the way they were. In addition, this resolution is a major step forward. For the first time, it condemns Israeli settlement activities, underlines the responsibility of Israel in the deadlock in the peace process, which constitutes an obstacle to the two-state solution, and denounces its regular human rights abuses. In an unprecedented way, it confronts Israel with its responsibilities. I therefore voted for this resolution, which strengthens the European Union’s commitment to uphold international law in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The European Union, as a member of the Quartet for Peace, must have a clear position. Let us hope that this position of Parliament will help us move forward."@en1
