"I welcome the fact that this joint resolution reaffirms its support for the two-state solution based on 1967 borders and supports the Palestinians’ request to be granted reinforced non-member status by the UN on 29 November. However, this text poses several problems: while it rightly condemns the rocket attacks by Palestinian groups, at no point does it condemn the assassination of Hamas military leader Ahmed al-Jabari or the massive attack carried out by Mr Netanyahu’s government. Worse, it considers that the Palestinians are responsible for the situation and contents itself with calling on Mr Netanyahu to act ‘proportionately’. As for the text’s support for the lifting of the blockade on Gaza, it is contingent upon ‘an effective control mechanism to prevent the smuggling of arms into Gaza’, thus justifying the blockade in the name of Israel’s security. In Israel’s current electoral context, this resolution provides unacceptable support for the criminal policies of the outgoing right-wing government. I abstain in order to encourage the position proposed for the UN meeting on 29 November."@en1
