"Mr President, I voted for this resolution, although it does not go far enough, in my view. I therefore wish to make the following points. Firstly, I believe that we should in future attach conditions to the EUR 600 million that the European Union provides every year as assistance to the region, and that applies to both parties. Everything that has been said applies, of course, to both parties equally.
The second point is this. It should be made clear to Israel that imprisoning millions of people behind barbed wire and walls that are several metres high does not work in the long term. The GDR, which has vanished from the map, is the classic example. It does not work. The only way forward is to engage in talks with the partner, even if the partner concerned is regarded as less than ideal. In my view, there will be no option but to talk to Hamas, for example, sooner or later. Austria has a strong tradition here. I recall that Austria and Bruno Kreisky were criticised when we talked to Arafat and Fatah. With hindsight, however, it proved to be the right move and culminated in the award of the Nobel Peace Prize. The same must surely apply today!"@en1
