"Mr President, yesterday we had a four-hour negotiation meeting to hopefully secure a joint resolution on the Middle East peace process. The GUE/NGL Group and my party, Sinn Fein, would prefer a stronger worded motion demanding the end of the occupation of Palestine and the release of political prisoners, particularly the PLC members who have been detained.
I think, however, we all agree that the EU should be a dominant political player in the Middle East peace process by advancing meaningful initiatives for a comprehensive solution. High Representative, we believe that Palestine should be placed under international protection and the EU should ensure the full implementation of the recommendations contained in the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry report into last year’s assault on Gaza, including its recommendation to support actively the work of the ICC. The EU should also ensure that no EU funds are allocated to Israeli organisations involved in occupation activities, as a lever to apply pressure on the Israeli Government to re-engage in a meaningful peace process and to work for a two-state solution.
Of concern last week was the information imparted to a joint Palestine and Israel delegation meeting that Israel is not prioritising a peace process. We were informed that it is virtually off Israel’s foreign policy agenda. This is not acceptable, High Representative, and I believe it must be challenged. We wish you all the best."@en1
