"Mr President, I want to welcome the news of a possible ceasefire. I think that this House should unite in welcoming this development that has been reported to us this afternoon. I hope it is a ceasefire that will bring some stability into a tense and very violent situation. Here in this House we should also be uniting in condemnation of the terrorist bomb attack on the bus in Tel Aviv. We should be defending the right of Israel to defend its own citizens from rocket attack, and I think that we should really examine the role of this House and these institutions. Surely we have taken our eye off the ball in that we have allowed this situation of rocket attack after rocket attack from Gaza on southern Israel to develop over many months and it is only when it becomes so tense and violent that we sit up and take notice.
We need to act as an honest broker in these institutions; we need to actually not pursue a quest for statehood at the United Nations, but start to build the confidence that can lead us to a viable ceasefire and a long-term solution."@en1
