I supported the adoption of the resolution. Although more than a thousand missiles a year head from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, the latter has been a patient sufferer over the last few years. The escalation of this armed conflict surprised the world and we cannot ignore the fact that missiles from the Gaza Strip no longer land only in the Negev Desert but are now capable of hitting Tel Aviv. Major civilian casualties have been avoided thanks to Israel’s strong military and technical capabilities. Egypt’s role in the area and its support in putting pressure on Palestinians to return to the roundtable for negotiations is very important. Continuation of the activities of Hamas is destructive also for the Palestinians living in the area. I supported the resolution but could not support paragraph 5. Awarding Palestine a status equal to that of the Vatican, for example, is most questionable. In the long term, creating such a precedent is short-sighted."@en1
