A Uachtaráin, while the war in Gaza was sparked by Hamas’s vicious terrorist attack in Israel, the situation in Gaza has now reached a critical juncture, and it is glaringly obvious that the principles of humanitarian law are being flagrantly disregarded. The disproportionate response by the Israeli authorities has led to the destruction of Gaza and the loss of countless of innocent lives, including women and children. This cannot be justified under any circumstances. Defence has been replaced by vengeance, and humanity replaced by callousness.  In Aleppo, we saw entire neighbourhoods levelled. Putin continued his disregard for human life again in Ukraine. How is the indiscriminate bombing in Gaza any different?  Netanyahu and his government seem hell-bent on destroying not just the lives of Palestinians, but also everything that makes up Palestine. The horrifying discovery of mass graves at Nasser Hospital may just be the tip of the iceberg. We must halt this madness and halt this endless cycle of destruction. We need a ceasefire, and we need it now. Ireland and Spain asked the Commission in mid-February to examine whether Israel is respecting its human rights obligations in the EU-Israel Association Agreement. Why has the Commission done nothing about this request? Why the silence? Netanyahu has turned his back on the international community, and I speak for many of my constituents when I say that the EU cannot be complicit in Israel’s disregard for innocent lives. A ceasefire, and a ceasefire now.

Senhora Presidente, Senhor Alto Representante, a condenação da comunidade internacional, em geral, e da União Europeia, em particular, relativamente aos atropelos do direito humanitário internacional, praticados pelas forças de defesa de Israel na Faixa de Gaza, tem subido de tom e conseguiu mesmo levar à aprovação de uma resolução das Nações Unidas, apelando a um cessar-fogo humanitário.  No entanto, no terreno, os números da catástrofe cívica e humanitária não param de subir. Cada dia mais agentes humanitários, jornalistas, civis, sobretudo mulheres e crianças, são feridos ou perdem a vida numa guerra que parece não reconhecer fronteiras éticas e legais. Sejamos práticos, Senhor Alto Representante, com a coragem e a lucidez que lhe reconheço em todo este processo, em que me revejo, e que hoje aqui lhe agradeço, temos que nos questionar.  Vamos agir para impedir o enfraquecimento reportado quotidianamente pela UNRWA e impedir situações como a que levou à suspensão das atividades da

Spoštovana predsednica! Prihodnost Palestine in palestinskega naroda ostaja kljub tragediji, ki smo jo priča, ključ do miru in stabilnosti na Bližnjem vzhodu. Izraelska vojaška operacija je, čeprav je bila že od vsega začetka obsojena na neuspeh, zašla v slepo ulico, saj vprašanje Palestine nima vojaške rešitve in nima rešitve v nasilju. Če bi jo imela, bi po vsej preliti krvi sedaj že obstajala.  Kar vidimo danes, je nepotrebno trpljenje in umiranje nedolžnih. Nekateri govorijo o genocidu, drugi o vojnih zločinih. A o vsem tem bo na koncu odločalo pravo in ne politika. Ne v tej ne v kateri drugi zgradbi.  Dejstvo je, da še tako dramatični govori in virtualni protest na socialnih omrežjih ne rešujejo ključnega: kako prekiniti krog nasilja in prelivanja krvi?  Edino upanje ni virtualno, ampak je to dolgočasna in zelo analogna diplomacija. Ta mora nujno doseči politični dogovor o trajnem humanitarnem premirju in izpustitvi vseh talcev brez vsakršnih pogojevanj in izsiljevanj. Nato pa se lahko začnejo pogovori o prihodnosti, o dveh državah in vrsti drugih zadev, a najprej se mora ustaviti nasilje.

Fru formand! Verden har ikke i min tid set et værre angreb end Israels på Gaza med sult, tørst og medicin som våben, oven i de vedvarende bombardementer og skyderier. 34 000 meldes dræbt, halvdelen af dem børn. Ingen rædsel overgår dette. Med drab på nødhjælpsarbejdere mister vi arme og ben i katastrofeområdet, men også vores øjne blændes. At Israel nægter journalister adgang til Gaza betyder jo, at vi kun har dem, der var der i forvejen. Og her er grotesk mange, sikkert hundreder blevet dræbt. Snart har vi alene Hamas som nyhedskilde. Israel må presses til omgående at lade journalister komme ind. Vi har alle brug for deres øjne, så vi kan se, hvad der reelt sker, og EU må straks få Gazas og Vestbreddens journalister inkluderet i EU’s Media Freedom Rapid Respons, ligesom Ukraines journalister. Det haster også med at få en uafhængig undersøgelse af de mange drab på journalister og de ansvarlige israelere på EU's sanktionsliste. Straffrihed er en pest i konflikten mellem Israel og Palæstina.

Senhora Presidente, é preciso pôr fim ao genocídio que Israel está a cometer em Gaza. É preciso pôr fim à barbárie. Israel é responsável, em apenas seis meses, pela morte de mais de 34 000 palestinianos, 76 000 feridos, a maioria mulheres e crianças. Matou dezenas de jornalistas, mais de uma centena de pessoal humanitário, centenas de pessoal de saúde.  Israel impede o acesso à água, a alimentos, medicamentos, atrasa e ataca operações humanitárias. Israel destrói habitações, infraestruturas, cerca e ataca hospitais, ameaça uma ainda maior agressão em Gaza, que coloca a população palestiniana entre a morte ou a expulsão. Israel impõe uma escalada de confrontação no Médio Oriente de consequências imprevisíveis.  Que profunda hipocrisia a da União Europeia nesta matéria! Onde está a enérgica condenação a Israel? Onde estão as sanções? Basta de palavras mansas e de proclamações espúrias. É preciso exigir um cessar-fogo imediato e o acesso incondicional a apoios humanitários, formalizar o reconhecimento do Estado da Palestina soberano e independente, com as fronteiras de 1967 e a capital em Jerusalém Oriental, a efetivação do direito de retorno dos refugiados, como determinam as resoluções da ONU.

Voorzitter, collega’s, 34 000 levens heeft de gruwelijke oorlog in Gaza al opgeëist, waaronder 12 000 kinderen, en er dreigen nog duizenden kinderen te sterven door honger omdat Israël humanitaire hulp blijft blokkeren. En de gruwel gaat maar door. Het gebrek aan actie, ook vanuit Europa, is onaanvaardbaar. Welk signaal geven we aan de families van de ruim 280 doden die afgelopen weekend werden gevonden in een massagraf, aan het jonge meisje dat water moet drinken aan een regenpijp of aan de families van de hulpverleners en de journalisten die het leven lieten terwijl ze probeerden mensenlevens te redden? Wat zeggen we tegen die mensen? We moeten actievoeren. En dat betekent uiteraard een onmiddellijk, permanent en onvoorwaardelijk staakt-het-vuren. Maar we hebben nog iets anders dat we kunnen gebruiken: onze economische macht. Het wordt hoog tijd dat we de associatieovereenkomst op de tafel leggen, ze opschorten en ervoor zorgen dat ze echt een hefboom wordt om Israël te forceren om te doen wat het moet doen: stoppen met deze oorlog.

Voorzitter, meer dan zes maanden ‒ we zijn al een heel eind ‒ en ik zie nog steeds geen significante ontwikkelingen in positieve zin. Ik zie nog steeds niet dat het geweld is gestopt en ik zie nog steeds niet dat kinderen en onschuldige mensen niet het slachtoffer zijn van deze verschrikkelijke oorlog. Integendeel, ik zie het tegenovergestelde. Verschillende verslagen zijn naar buiten gekomen, verschillende analyses zijn gemaakt en alsnog komen er geen positieve resultaten. Ik ga het nu maar voor de eerste keer publiekelijk zeggen: wat ik aanschouw, wat ik zie, is dat er een genocide gaande is. Het is ongelooflijk hoe mensen aan het uitsterven zijn, hoe mensen aan het lijden zijn. De internationale gemeenschap slaagt er maar niet in om dit te stoppen. Het kan zo echt niet verder. En wat betreft UNRWA: nog steeds is er geen bewijs. Onacceptabel. Kom dan een keer met bewijs, is de oproep aan de Israëlische regering, want je kan niet met dit soort aantijgingen blijven komen terwijl er maar geen bewijs is. Dus ook hier moeten we eisen: of er komt bewijs, of het klopt gewoon niet.

Arvoisa puhemies, yli 200 avustustyöntekijää ja yli 100 toimittajaa on kuollut Israelin sotatoimissa Gazassa. Kansainvälinen oikeus velvoittaa suojelemaan siviilejä. Israelin toiminta taas osoittaa täyttä välinpitämättömyyttä siviilejä kohtaan. Siitä todistaa myös sotatoimissa kuolleiden palestiinalaisten määrä, joista suurin osa on siviilejä – lapsia ja naisia.  Nämä luvut kertovat joko tarkoituksellisesta siviilien tappamisesta tai täydestä välinpitämättömyydestä, koska Israelin armeija on yksi maailman kehittyneimpiä ja sillä olisi kyky suojella siviilejä, jos sillä olisi siihen tahtoa. Sen sijaan Israel on pommittanut niin sairaaloita, ambulansseja kuin avustussaattueita, kaikki selvästi merkittyjä.  Israel on tehnyt mahdottomaksi niin siviilien auttamisen kuin riippumattomien medioiden raportoida tapahtumista. Tämä on käsittämätöntä ja häpeällistä. EU:n on asetettava laajat taloudelliset pakotteet Israelia kohtaan, kunnes tämä kohtuuton julmuus saadaan loppumaan. Jäsenvaltioiden, kuten kotimaani Suomen, on pidättäydyttävä kaikesta asekaupasta Israelin kanssa, kunnes Israel noudattaa kansainvälistä oikeutta, kansainvälisiä sitoumuksiaan ja kansainvälisiä sodankäynnin sääntöjä. Tulitauko ja kahden valtion malli.

Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, più di 34.000 morti e più di 77.000 feriti: ed è solo un bilancio parziale, l'ultimo, dopo centinaia di giorni di guerra a Gaza e la strage continua. Sette operatori umanitari dell'ONG  Sono poi numerosissime le vittime tra gli operatori dell'agenzia ONU che si occupa dei profughi palestinesi, accusata dal governo di Netanyahu di aver partecipato all'attacco del 7 ottobre. Non ci sono prove a sostegno delle accuse: una recente analisi indipendente della ex ministra degli Esteri francese, Catherine Colonna, afferma chiaramente che l'Agenzia è insostituibile e indispensabile. Ma noi lo sappiamo, lo abbiamo detto anche in questo Parlamento.  Serve che l'Europa agisca adesso per evitare che continui un'escalation e per ottenere un immediato cessate il fuoco e la liberazione incondizionata di tutti gli ostaggi ancora nelle mani di Hamas. Lavoriamo per una Conferenza internazionale di pace e per una missione ONU a Gaza. Lavoriamo per fermare il massacro.

Spoštovana predsednica! Hvala! Tokrat vam ne bom pokazala grozljivih fotografij iz Gaze. Pa ne zato, ker se bojim, da bi me kdo prekinil. V tem primeru me sploh ne ganejo pravila te hiše. Ampak samo zato, ker vam bom tokrat s številkami opisala realnost, pred katero se ne morete skriti niti tisti, ki ste si tudi ob mojih fotografijah takrat zatiskali oči. Tisti, ki ne priznavate nenormalne brutalnosti genocida, ki ga Izrael izvaja v Palestini.  Številke, torej. Več kot 34.000 mrtvih Palestink in Palestincev, več kot 120 mrtvih novinark in novinarjev, več kot 220 mrtvih humanitark in humanitarcev. To je realnost. Vedno hujša.  Neupravičena bombardiranja niso nenadzorovana. Izrael svoje napade zelo ciljno usmerja v bolnišnice in na območja delovanja humanitarnih delavcev.  Prav tako ciljno napade usmerja v novinarje v obliki usodne in dokončne cenzure. Ker, kaj, če o dejanjih izraelske vlade nihče ne poroča, jih ni?  Sram naj bo tiste, ki to omogočate. In sram naj vas bo, ker lahko tako mirno spremljate razpad človečnosti.  Ne bom tiho.

Madam President, Saifeddin, Zomi, Damian, James Kirby, John, James Henderson and Jacob all killed in a single Israeli airstrike while they were doing their work in Gaza. But we were told that it’s fine. The IDF informed everyone that it was a mistake, so now they expect that all should be forgiven, as if nothing ever happened. But let me send a clear message. We will not be swayed by hollow apologies. Your empty promises. No, we do not buy the notion that this was mere collateral damage. In a so-called mistake. 34 000 innocent lives have been lost in Gaza. And here is a fact for those who try to always put this down, find excuses. Oh, they’re not even here. The EPP, ECR and the far right. The fascists are not here today, but 34 000 lives in Gaza. To put this in context, is 1 400 000 lives in Germany, 1 100 000 lives in France, 1 million lives in Italy, 9 000 in my country, Malta. But even if it were just one life, we would stand up for that life to be counted. How many more lives need to be lost until we wake up to this genocide? Justice must be served. Justice means a ceasefire. Justice means that we recognise Palestine as a State, so that Palestinians can live freely in peace and be able to live their lives to the full.

Spoštovana predsednica! Več kot pol leta trajajoča brezvestna brutalnost oboroženih spopadov in najhujši mednarodni zločini v Gazi postavlja pod vprašaj našo kolektivno humanost in obstoj mednarodnega prava.  Po poročanju organizacije Save the Children iz Združenih držav Amerike je v tem konfliktu življenje izgubilo več kot 200 humanitarnih delavcev, kar je najvišje število humanitarnih žrtev v času sodobnih konfliktov. Med otroki pa je bilo več žrtev kot v vseh spopadih na globalni ravni v zadnjih štirih letih.  Evropska unija in njene države članice so zmožne in dolžne izkoristiti vse pravne, politične, diplomatske in gospodarske vzvode, da spodbudijo Izrael k spoštovanju vseh relevantnih zavezujočih resolucij Varnostnega sveta ter k uresničevanju začasnih ukrepov, namenjenih preprečevanju zločina genocida, ki jih Izraelu nalaga Meddržavno sodišče.  Zato sem prepričan, da so prizadevanja za mednarodno priznanje Palestine kot države pomemben korak k enakopravnejšim odnosom in dialogu med Izraelom in Palestino.  Prav tako pozdravljam predlog resolucije Varnostnega sveta za polnopravno članstvo Palestine v Združenih narodih ter verjamem, da navkljub tokratnemu vetu ZDA, predstavlja pomemben premik na poti k zagotavljanju trajnega miru na Bližnjem vzhodu. Hvala lepa.

Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, oltre 200 operatori umanitari, quasi 100 giornalisti, più di 33.000 civili, quasi la metà erano solo bambini. Un inferno che dura da sette mesi sotto i nostri occhi, un inferno di brutalità. Ma dietro a questi freddi numeri ci sono storie, storie di sofferenze atroci, famiglie spezzate, bambini che non diventeranno mai adulti. Ed è intollerabile che ogni giorno ne vengono scritte altre centinaia.  Stalli e tatticismi devono finire ora. Occorre far ripartire immediatamente i negoziati per un cessate il fuoco immediato e duraturo. Bisogna tornare a finanziare l'UNRWA prima che sia troppo tardi. Così come è indispensabile che i primi nemici del popolo palestinese, i terroristi tagliagole di Hamas, acconsentano alla liberazione immediata degli ostaggi israeliani. Ed è parimenti necessario che Netanyahu rinunci all'attacco a Rafah, rinunci a un attacco che causerebbe solo il definitivo collasso umanitario nella regione e annunci il ritiro delle proprie truppe dalla Striscia di Gaza.  Le leadership da ambo le parti si sono dimostrate totalmente incapaci di agire per il bene dei loro popoli. Il nostro compito sarà accompagnare quelle del futuro verso una conferenza di pace vera, verso l'unica soluzione possibile, quella politica: due Stati liberi, indipendenti, in pace e in sicurezza.

Señor Borrell, usted sabe que el Parlamento Europeo le ha pedido que haya más acción, sanciones, reconocimiento de Palestina, que se apoye a la ayuda humanitaria y expulsión de las embajadas de Israel, al igual que ellos no nos permiten entrar en su territorio a los diputados europeos. También medidas contundentes de respeto y de ayuda humanitaria.  Israel, Netanyahu, no quieren que haya ojos, no quieren que haya testigos. Miren esa fotografía que acaba de ganar un premio: una madre con un niño muerto en sus brazos debería ser la vergüenza de Europa. Debería ser la vergüenza de nuestros pueblos que acabemos esta legislatura europea y no se haya conseguido el alto el fuego.  Israel no tiene límites. Esas fosas humanitarias, esos trabajadores humanitarios perseguidos... No se ha visto nada igual. Yo no quería dejar esta legislatura que se acaba esta semana sin decir que basta ya de impunidad, que pidamos un alto el fuego y el reconocimiento del Estado palestino.

Madam President, over six months and more than 100 000 casualties in Gaza, and now you want to talk about an EU response. The EU response is to funnel weapons to the genocidal apartheid regime, provide diplomatic cover for their crimes and cry crocodile tears for the massacred children while defending and occupying powers non-existent right to attack the people of the land they occupied. With Russia, you all remembered how to apply international law and more. It extended to Russian novelists, dog shows, any sport you can imagine. But as Israel murders more children than in any other global conflict, and all of it in the last five years, you couldn’t even muster one sanction. This is the EU’s Madeleine Albright moment. Is the slaughter of tens of thousands of children a price worth paying to maintain EU interests? It looks like the answer is yes. Sadly, settler colonialism, apartheid and genocide are integral to the order that built and sustains the EU.

Madame la Présidente, Monsieur le Haut Représentant, ce sera sans doute ma dernière intervention et je n’aurai pas pu éviter de parler de la situation à Gaza aujourd’hui – avec beaucoup de tristesse, et je sais que vous partagez cette tristesse. Nous sommes aujourd’hui témoins d’un génocide. Ce n’est pas nous qui le disons: ce génocide a été qualifié par la Cour internationale de justice et par la Rapporteure spéciale des Nations Unies sur la situation des droits de l’homme dans les territoires palestiniens occupés depuis 1967. Pour avoir qualifié cette action de génocide, elle a été menacée aujourd’hui pour avoir dit la vérité sur ce qui se passe aujourd’hui à Gaza. Alors être témoin est une chose; être complice en est une autre. Aujourd’hui, malheureusement, l’Union européenne est complice de ce génocide, parce qu’elle n’agit pas contre ce génocide. Nous devons impérativement prendre des mesures. Je sais que vous ne ménagez pas vos forces, mais le Conseil doit pouvoir mettre fin à cet accord d’association. Il faut arrêter de livrer des armes à Israël. Il faut continuer à mener des enquêtes internationales sur les crimes qui sont commis aujourd’hui à Gaza. Pour cela, il devra y avoir des poursuites contre tous ceux qui n’auront pas utilisé tous les moyens qui sont en leur pouvoir pour lutter contre ce génocide qui est en train d’arriver à Gaza.
