Senhora Presidente, de acordo com dados das Nações Unidas, mais de 10 000 pessoas foram mortas em Gaza desde 7 de outubro: 2 550 mulheres, 4 104 crianças, 596 idosos; mais de 25 400 ficaram feridas. No total, cerca de 1 400 israelitas e estrangeiros foram mortos em Israel. De acordo com as autoridades israelitas, a grande maioria dos quais nos primeiros dias dos ataques do Hamas. Desde o início, as Nações Unidas, através do seu Secretário-Geral, têm apelado à criação de corredores humanitários permanentes na Faixa de Gaza. A União Europeia, na cimeira de líderes de final de outubro, apelou à criação de corredores e pausas humanitárias também. Como relator permanente do Parlamento Europeu para a ajuda humanitária, apelo a que sejam criadas as condições para a concretização imediata de pausas humanitárias, as quais devem conduzir à viabilização de corredores humanitários permanentes. Apelo também a que sejam garantidas as condições de segurança para a atuação dos atores humanitários no terreno, onde já foram mortos quase 90 agentes, o maior número de baixas em contexto de conflito na História das Nações Unidas. Israel foi vítima de um bárbaro ataque terrorista por parte do Hamas, tem o direito de se defender, mas ninguém tem o direito de estar acima do Direito Internacional e do Direito Humanitário.

Señora presidenta, hemos escuchado las presentaciones de la presidenta de la Comisión Europea y del presidente del Consejo Europeo con relación al relanzamiento de la ampliación más al este de la Unión Europea y de los Balcanes Occidentales: la apertura de los capítulos con Ucrania y con Moldavia y el estatuto de candidato de Georgia. Es algo que yo, desde luego, apoyo. Al mismo tiempo, no hemos escuchado la necesaria vinculación de este proceso de ampliación con la profundización política del proyecto de integración. La ampliación y la profundización tienen que ir de la mano. No cabe plantear estas ampliaciones sin abrir el proceso de reforma de los Tratados.  Por eso, recuerdo al Consejo Europeo que, en su reunión del 15 de diciembre, tiene la oportunidad de aprobar la propuesta del Parlamento Europeo en el sentido de convocar una convención para la reforma de los Tratados.

Madam President, I want to repeat my abhorrence at the atrocities committed by Hamas on 7 October, and what has been done since then by the Israeli Defence Forces is not proportionate. I grew up in Ireland; over 30 years of the conflict on the island of Ireland, 3 500 people were killed, each one a tragedy. In one month, 4 000 children have been killed in Palestine. How is that proportionate? Thousands more have suffered life-changing injuries and trauma. Those who have not been killed or injured are denied the basic necessities of life: fuel, food, water and electricity. How can that be proportionate? I call on other MEPs to co-sign my request for a review of the EU–Israel Association Agreement, Article 2 of which makes respect for human rights and democratic principles an essential element of that agreement. It was the government of Israel that suspended part of that agreement in 2013. Why is it so radical for the EU to review that agreement, given everything that has happened? It is never too late to do the right thing.

Señora presidenta, más de 4 000 niños muertos. Más de 4 000. Esto es insoportable. Los actos perpetrados por Hamás son abominables, y reiteramos nuestra condena sin paliativos. Pero seré muy clara: nada, repito, nada puede justificar la masacre deliberada de civiles que está cometiendo Israel en Gaza.  Israel tiene derecho a defenderse. Sí, dentro del Derecho internacional. Pero no lo está haciendo. Está atacando hospitales, instalaciones de la ONU, refugios y escuelas. La misma relatora de la ONU ha dicho que hay un claro riesgo de genocidio en Gaza. ¿Cómo podemos permitir que se estén perpetrando crímenes de guerra de tal magnitud frente a nuestros ojos sin hacer nada?  Debemos parar esto ya y tomar urgentemente medidas diplomáticas, económicas y políticas. El alto el fuego inmediato, liberación incondicional de todos los rehenes, respeto escrupuloso al Derecho internacional humanitario, más ayuda humanitaria y suspensión de la venta de armas.

Señora presidenta, me sumo a los que claman contra el dolor causado por esa tragedia humanitaria en Gaza. Condenan la violencia infligida sobre personas inocentes, sean israelíes víctimas de Hamás, sean palestinos víctimas de la respuesta militar israelí.  Pero hablando de tragedias humanitarias que escapan a nuestra jurisdicción, no quisiera tampoco ignorar que hay algunas tragedias humanitarias que sí entran en nuestra jurisdicción y requieren una respuesta de escala europea.  La tragedia humanitaria de las vidas que se pierden en el mar y claman por un mecanismo europeo de salvamento y rescate por el que hemos urgido tanto desde este Parlamento Europeo a la Comisión. Del mismo modo que piden una respuesta más humana las personas que tocan a la puerta de la Unión Europea y se encuentran con unas respuestas fragmentarias que llevan a pasos absolutamente equivocados, como el que hemos visto en el acuerdo del Gobierno de Meloni con Albania para crear campos de internamiento fuera del territorio de la Unión Europea.  Seamos coherentes, ofrezcamos de una vez una respuesta humanitaria dentro del Pacto sobre Migración y Asilo y completemos dicho Pacto en esta legislatura.

Gospa predsednica. V naslednji minuti bom večinsko kritizirala državo Izrael in ne bom dovolila, da povedano kdorkoli enači z antisemitizmom. Še manj bom dovolila izenačevanje s podporo Hamasu. Obsojam vse, kar ti teroristi počnejo. Obsojam vsa pobijanja nedolžnih. Obsojam kršenje mednarodnega prava. Obsojam našo večno zaskrbljenost in večna dvojna merila. Kje je odločen pritisk? Kje so konkretni ukrepi? Seveda ima Izrael pravico do obrambe, a ta pravica ni bianco menica za pobijanje Palestink in Palestincev, otrok, ni pravica do bombardiranja vsepovprek. Veste, kaj bi štelo? Štela bi brezpogojna podpora samo nedolžnim žrtvam. Samo zavzemanju za takojšnje premirje ter v primeru neuresničitve slednjega za sankcije, na primer za začetek prepoved trgovanja in sodelovanja z nezakonitimi izraelskimi naselbinami, ki se mimogrede dogajajo že precej dlje od aktualne vojne. Kdaj torej, če ne zdaj? Čez še deset tisoč mrtvih, sto, milijon? To bi štelo. Zdaj.

Madam President, over 4 000 children have been killed by the colonial Israeli regime in one month. Eight times more children have been killed in Gaza in one month than in all of the Ukraine war. Eight times more! And EU leaders are still talking about Israel’s right to defend itself. Defend itself? Is bombing hospitals and churches defending itself? Is bombing refugee camps defending itself? Is slaughtering 4 000 children defending itself? I mean, where are we going? Over 10 000 civilians have been killed in Gaza with EU and US weapons. European white supremacy knows no bounds! A genocide is being carried out by a far-right apartheid Israeli regime, and they are doing so with our unconditional support. It is the EU leaders: not only can you not call for a ceasefire; you can’t mention the words ‘condemn’ and ‘Israel’ in the same sentence. How in God’s name is the EU ever going to talk about human rights anywhere again?

Senhora Presidente, mais de 10 000 pessoas assassinadas por Israel em Gaza, mais de 4 000 crianças, muitas ainda nos escombros. Que está a fazer a UE para impedir os assassinatos de civis? Para impedir ataques a ambulâncias, hospitais, escolas, campos de refugiados, infraestruturas de água, eletricidade, apartamentos?  Isto é genocídio desproporcional, viola o Direito Humanitário Internacional. Ouviram ontem a mensagem das crianças de Gaza: «Queremos viver, queremos paz, queremos alimentos, água, medicamentos, não foguetes de guerra». Um sofrimento humano sem precedentes. Um pouco de empatia, Europa. Essa Europa que estava aqui e que agora se foi embora. Devem pressionar Israel para o cessar-fogo, não chega a pausa humanitária. Que vergonha a Europa que se cala diante do genocídio! Parem a guerra com diplomacia, já é suficiente, como disse o Secretário-Geral das Nações Unidas. Os povos europeus, como o meu na Galiza, estão a denunciar os crimes internacionais, clamando pelo cessar-fogo e pela paz.

An overwhelming majority of the honourable Members underscored that there is no justification for the horror that Hamas unleashed against innocent men, women, children and even babies, as well as you underscored the imperative of respect for international humanitarian law by Israel. I would like to tell you that I clearly heard you loud and clear when you have been highlighting the importance of our European duty to increase and deliver humanitarian aid now, and offer a peaceful political perspective for tomorrow. I would like to reassure you that we are doing our utmost not only to increase our humanitarian aid, but also that we are working 24/7 to make sure that this aid is properly and promptly delivered to those who need it most. If it comes to the political perspective for tomorrow, I think it is also quite clear from our debates today and from the intervention of our political leaders, that it is clear that this perspective is the two-state solution. The European Union, as you know, is a peace project overall and in itself and I’m convinced that our debate today confirmed that Europe stands ready to work with all the people and all the countries in the Middle Eastern region to achieve this very important goal.

Je m’adresse particulièrement à cette coalition de socialistes, libéraux et conservateurs qui vient de saboter notre demande de débattre et adopter une résolution sur un cessez-le-feu. Je m’adresse à la Commission européenne qui n’a toujours pas levé le petit doigt pour obliger Israël à respecter le droit international. Plus de 4 000 enfants palestiniens tués, et vous refusez même de parler d’un cessez-le-feu. Quand la Russie frappait un hôpital ukrainien, vous vous révoltiez. Quand Israël frappe un hôpital palestinien, vous soutenez. Quand la Russie frappe une infrastructure civile en Ukraine, vous imposez des sanctions. Quand Israël fait pareil, limite vous applaudissez. Ces «deux poids, deux mesures» enlèvent à l’Union européenne toute crédibilité en matière de droits humains. Il est temps de suspendre l’Accord d’association avec Israël. Temps d’imposer un embargo militaire et de retirer la délégation européenne d’Israël.

The EU is finally returning to geopolitical leadership. My special congratulations go to Ukraine, Moldova and Bosnia and Herzegovina. But don’t forget, this decision comes through the blood of the Ukrainian people. Enlargement is first and foremost in our interest. Enlargement is our only option to avoid future disasters. Either there will be more of the European Union on the European continent, or there will be more Russia or China next to us. Enlargement is our responsibility to future generations. It is the only way to achieve sustainable and lasting peace on the European continent. I would like to mention Georgia. The European path of this country was saved by the Georgian people. It is a message to Russia as well: you will lose. Today’s recommendation is a credit, not to the Georgian Government or Georgian dream, because it is true that Georgia is not on the same step as Ukraine and Moldova. And this is the biggest wrongdoing of the Georgian Government against the Georgian people. Dear colleagues, I would like to thank the Commission and especially Ursula von der Leyen for her leadership and deep understanding of the existential momentum in this history of Europe. Let us do this job together.

Međutim, danas predstavljeni paket sadrži kontroverze, posebno spram Srbije čiji predsjednik aktivno izvozi nestabilnost u ostatak regije, planira izbornu kampanju s osuđenim ratnim zločincima i potpisuje trgovinski sporazum s Kinom. Jednake restriktivne mjere, nakon Banjske, Srbiji nisu uvedene. Teroristički napad se relativizira, sankcije Rusiji i dalje nisu uvedene, ali se zato pohvaljuje napredak Beograda u usklađivanju s vanjskom politikom Europske unije. Da bi politika proširenja bila uspješna, mora biti kredibilna i koherentna. Zato i Bosna i Hercegovina zaslužuje početak pregovora što prije. Dodatni financijski instrumenti su dobrodošli, ali ono što zaista trebamo je stvarna politička odlučnost koja će prestati sponzorirati stabilokraciju i otvoriti put istinskim reformama u skladu s europskim vrijednostima.

We are united by our common dream and goal to bring Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova, Georgia and the Western Balkan countries into the European Union as equal among equals. As we continue our strong support to these countries, let us not forget that the European Union itself must prepare for future enlargement. We need to adapt the European Union’s institutional financing and decision-making arrangements and this must be undertaken without any delay. Let us take inspiration from candidate countries, like Ukraine, and prepare our Union to become not only geographically larger, but also economically, geopolitically stronger and more secure for our citizens. Finally, let me commend the European Commission for a very solid enlargement report with a clear geopolitical footprint.

По същия начин стои въпросът със сръбското отношение и по отношение на темата за Северна Македония. Ако се абстрахираме от платените пробелградски, прокремълски балалайки, които чуваме тук в залата, се запитваме къде отиде вписването на българите, на хърватите и на останалите общности в Конституцията на Република Северна Македония. Те трябваше до преди една година да са вписани, нали така? Такива бяха обещанията, но това, разбира се, не се случи, защото там има, пак казвам, просръбски, проруски сили, които ви лъжат. Не знам защо се връзвате на тези неща. За част от колегите знам, защото то е обяснимо. Петолъчката значи и говори много, но това е друга тема. Така че приказките са хубаво нещо, много хубаво, демокрацията също е хубаво нещо, но фактите са си факти.  Моля ви, проверете случая, има спрени български граждани, които не са допуснати в Западните български покрайнини. И без това ви задавах въпрос, може направо да ми отговорите.

Aujourd’hui encore, le processus d’adhésion de la Turquie à nos institutions est certes à l’arrêt, mais toujours maintenu. Monsieur Erdogan n’a jamais caché son mépris pour ce que nous représentons, alors que son pays a accepté sans réserve les vingt milliards d’euros de fonds de préadhésion que Bruxelles lui a versés depuis 1996. Monsieur Erdogan vient de déclarer que soutenir le Hamas est la chose la plus naturelle du monde. De telles déclarations sont inacceptables. Il faut mettre un terme immédiat et définitif à l’entrée de la Turquie dans l’Union européenne. On ne peut financer un pays qui cautionne ceux qui veulent nous détruire, ceux qui commettent des horreurs innommables, ceux qui soutiennent l’islamisme. Il est donc absolument inenvisageable, Monsieur le Commissaire, d’intégrer la Turquie dans l’Union européenne. C’est une évidence absolue. La volonté d’expansion toujours plus folle de l’Union se heurte aux réalités. L’utopie de l’idéologie mondialiste est confrontée à la terreur de ceux qui nous sont hostiles. Tout élargissement est à proscrire. Il doit en être de même avec la Bosnie, l’Albanie, pays gangrenés par les mafias, les trafics et l’islamisme. C’est une question de sécurité et de protection de nos peuples.

Elnök asszony! Az Európai Unió bővítése stratégiai és geopolitikai érdekünk. A bővítés ugyanakkor nem csak politikai kérdés. A csatlakozási tárgyalások előtt álló országok helyzetét felkészültségük alapján, egységes követelményrendszer szerint kell megítélni. Új csatlakozási tárgyalások megkezdése előtt az EU-nak először a Nyugat-Balkán, így Szerbia felé tett ígéreteit kell teljesítenie, hiszen Szerbiával már több mint tíz éve zajlanak a tárgyalások, jelentős előrelépés nélkül. Ez hiteltelenné teszi az Uniót.  A hitelességünk megőrzése miatt Georgiának is meg kell kapnia a tagjelölti státuszt. Új csatlakozási tárgyalások csak azokkal az országokkal nyílhatnak meg, akik teljesítik a Bizottság által szabott alapvető feltételeket.  A ma bemutatott bővítési javaslat – és ezért gratulálok a Biztos úrnak – látható, hogy Ukrajna a 7 feltételből 4-et, köztük a kisebbségvédelmi feltételeket is, még nem teljesítette. Területén háború zajlik, választásokat sem tud tartani. Ezek mind azt igazolják, hogy az ország még nem áll készen a csatlakozási tárgyalások megkezdésére.

Frau Präsidentin, Herr Kommissar, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Als der Ukraine-Berichterstatter hier, denke ich schon, dass ich sagen kann, dass wir heute einen historischen Beschluss der Kommission haben, in dem sie eben die Aufnahme von Beitrittsverhandlungen für die Ukraine vorschlägt, und ich konzentriere mich auf dieses Land. Ich denke, es ist bemerkenswert, wie sich dieses Land trotz des russischen Angriffskrieges weiter auf dem Reformkurs befindet und damit zum Ausdruck bringt, wo es hingehört. Und diese Botschaft, die heute von der Kommission ausgeht und die auch dieses Parlament seit vielen Jahren deutlich zum Ausdruck bringt, ist, dass diese Ukraine unwiderruflich auf dem europäischen Weg ist und dass es auch keinen Weg zurück gibt – auch solange und egal in welcher Form, dieses Russland das Land völkerrechtswidrig mit einem Angriffskrieg überzieht. Ich denke – wenn ich mir anschaue, was die Kommission hierzu im Detail aufgeschrieben hat, was die Ukraine auch noch bis März erreichen muss, damit auch der Verhandlungsrahmen verabschiedet werden kann –, das ist alles machbar, trotz des Krieges. Und wir sollten dem Land hierbei jegliche Unterstützung zuteilwerden lassen. Ich bin zuversichtlich, dass dieser Ansatz, die Erweiterung auch mit den vielen anderen Ländern konkret voranzutreiben, innerhalb der Europäischen Union auch die Debatte auslöst, nämlich die Reform und die Entscheidungsfähigkeit so zu verbessern, dass wir uns dann gemeinsam mit den neuen Ländern für eine größere und entscheidungsfähigere EU einsetzen können.

Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, la politica di allargamento è uno strumento cruciale per la stabilità, la prosperità e la pace del nostro continente. Pace che purtroppo è spesso compromessa, con tutte le tragiche conseguenze cui assistiamo ormai ogni giorno. Nello scorso anno e mezzo l'Unione europea ha teso la mano all'Ucraina, che merita tutto il nostro sostegno e impegno, ma non possiamo dimenticare i Balcani occidentali, a cui vent'anni fa è stato promesso un posto nella famiglia europea. Serve accelerare il passo per dimostrare ai cittadini di questi paesi i vantaggi di far parte dell'Unione, che mette al centro le libertà e i diritti, in modo da rianimare il desiderio di adesione, desiderio che in Serbia, ad esempio, sembra essersi congelato. Allo stesso tempo, però, dobbiamo essere fermi nel chiedere che siano fatti passi in avanti sulle riforme essenziali, che la normalizzazione dei rapporti di vicinato sia messa al primo posto attraverso una de-escalation immediata delle tensioni tra Serbia e Kosovo. Dobbiamo chiedere che la stampa non sia annacquata dalla propaganda russa o cinese e che si abbracci l'unica linea di politica estera possibile, quella sostenuta dall'Unione europea che lavora per la pace.
