"Mr President, in this debate let us show the responsibility not simply to rehearse old arguments or entrench past divisions. Let us address what we can do now to bring people together for the future, and that should start with welcoming the new and active role being pursued by the High Representative/Vice President. We welcome the confidence which Ms Mogherini has established with the different parties, including the greater engagement to which she has committed herself again today with the Arab partners. When she came to the Committee on Foreign Affairs in July, Mrs Mogherini said Mr Netanyahu had told her that he had recommitted Israel to a two-state solution, and she added that she now expected him to show it. We should join her in that expectation on all Israelis and on all Palestinians.
To our Palestinian friends, we were proud to pass the resolution in favour of a move towards recognition of your state, but we always said that this was not a substitute for direct talks. We hope the successful vote today to name our own delegation, specifically one with Palestine, will be a further such encouragement. We note the efforts last week in Qatar of your chief negotiator to seek Hamas’ participation in a meeting of the Palestinian National Council. We encourage reconciliation, and should consider any further action the EU take can take to help achieve it. In today’s resolution, we will vote for full implementation of the recommendations made in the report of the UN independent commission of inquiry, which identified war crimes of the 2014 Gaza conflict, including to support actively the work of the International Criminal Court. It is right to do so.
Mr President, there will always be those who say nothing will change in the Middle East, but today’s resolution is for peace, for justice and for statehood. There must be no third intifada."@en1
