听听President. 鈥� The next item is the debate on the Council and Commission statements on the continued escalation in the Middle East: the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank, UNRWA鈥檚 essential role in the region, the need to release all hostages and the recent ICC arrest warrants ().

听听J谩nos B贸ka, President-in-Office of the Council. 鈥� Mr President, honourable Members, Commissioner, the European Union is deeply alarmed by the continued escalation in the Middle East following the brutal terrorist attacks by Hamas on Israel on 7听October 2023. The European Council has condemned, and continues to condemn, in the strongest possible terms such unjustified acts of deliberate violence, and stands with the families of the victims and the hostages taken by Hamas.

It has called on all parties to exercise the utmost restraint, put an end to all hostilities immediately and fully abide by international law, including international humanitarian law. In Gaza, the European Union deplores the unacceptable number of civilian casualties, including women and children, as well as the catastrophic humanitarian situation.

The European Union's position is clear: we call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and the unconditional and immediate release of all hostages, the urgent improvement of access and sustained distribution of humanitarian assistance at scale throughout Gaza, and an enduring end to hostilities. We remain committed to continue to provide needs-based assistance to people in the Middle East, with particular attention to the most vulnerable. And given the increasing need, we are scaling up the humanitarian engagement.

Furthermore, the European Union stresses the essential role of the United Nations and its agencies, notably UNRWA, in providing essential services to millions of people in Gaza and the wider region. There is also further escalation in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, following increased settler violence, the expansion of illegal settlements and Israel's military operation. We strongly condemn this escalation.

Regarding Lebanon, there is a growing humanitarian crisis, and a serious risk of the political and security situation further deteriorating. The Council hasn't had the opportunity to exchange views on the matter, but we follow the news on a possible ceasefire agreement, and are hopeful that it leads to the end of hostilities and sustainable peace, based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701. The recent statements from both Israel and Lebanon give way for cautious optimism. The European Union will continue supporting the Lebanese people, the Lebanese army and the Lebanese institutions in coordination with our international partners.

I can assure you that the situation in the Middle East will remain a priority for the Council.

听听Elisa Ferreira, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Mr President, honourable Members, I am replacing now the High Representative Vice-President Josep Borrell, who could not be here today because he is in the G7 ministerial meeting in Rome.

In fact, we do not have words to describe the unprecedented level of the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. The Israeli operation in northern Gaza continues, leading to more casualties among civilians, a blockade of aid and people being prevented from returning to their homes. There have been several mass casualties, bombings and attacks on healthcare facilities and workers. The UN has warned that famine is imminent in areas within the northern Gaza Strip, which have practically received no humanitarian assistance for over a month. Either convoys are not allowed to enter or, if they are, looting prevents people from accessing the assistance provided. We therefore need an immediate ceasefire and release of all remaining hostages. We regret that the efforts of the US, Qatar, Egypt did not bear fruit yet.

At the October plenary you expressed clear support towards the United Nations UNRWA and rule-based international order. We are gravely concerned about the impact of the laws voted in the Knesset on 28听October, which can effectively obstruct all UNRWA's activities in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Israel's continued attacks against the United Nations must stop. We have to defend our vision of a rule-based global order, especially when the UN Secretary-General, peacekeepers or a humanitarian agency are being threatened.

UNRWA provides essential services to millions of people in the region, not only the West Bank and Gaza, but also Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. In addition to the delivery of life-saving support, UNRWA also plays a fundamental role in providing daily education, health and social services. No UN agency can take over UNRWA's special mandate, as repeatedly repeated by UN officials. It provides services to individuals based on their status, registered Palestine refugees, in several human development fields, namely education, health, relief and social services, and emergency assistance.

Let us stress that no other UN agency is specifically mandated to directly operate health or educational facilities. The Israeli legislation would directly impact UNRWA's delivery of essential education and healthcare services, leaving about 340听000 students and over 1听million patients without access to school or clinics over the occupied Palestinian territory. Additionally, more than 14听500 local jobs in education and healthcare, key for both service delivery and community stability, are at risk.

Recognising the disastrous consequences that this legislation would have on UNRWA's operations, the European Union reached out in advance of the vote in the Knesset to persuade the Israeli Government to reconsider. First, the EU, through its delegation in Tel Aviv, made an outreach to the Israeli authorities, to which 17 Member States and six like-minded partners were associated. On the day of the vote, the High Representative issued a statement urging the Israeli authorities to review its plans to adopt the bills. Then, following the vote, the High Representative Vice-President issued a statement on behalf of the European Union in which he once again condemned any attempt to abrogate the agreement between Israel and the UNRWA, reflecting what was agreed at the October European Council.听The European Union also reiterated its firm support to the UN.

Now that the laws have been adopted, we have called on Israel to ensure that UNRWA can continue carrying out its crucial work in line with its mandate adopted by the UN General Assembly. We believe we have to continue our strong advocacy efforts with key like-minded partners, including the UN and G7, towards the Israeli government. UN Secretary-General Ant贸nio Guterres has sent a letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu requesting him not to implement the legislation. The legislation is due to enter into force in less than 90 days.

As the UN itself has relentlessly expressed, there is no alternative to UNRWA. Thus, it is essential that we continue reaffirming our strong support of UNRWA further to the clear language in the European Council conclusions. As a sign of our support, the EU disbursed its entire financial support of EUR听82听million for 2024.

Finally, on the International Criminal Court arrest warrant issued on 21听November against the Israeli Prime Minister and his former Minister of Defence, we would like to call for European Union unity. Now, more than ever, we need to uphold the multilateral order and continue calling for respect for and implementation of the decisions of the International Criminal Court.

听听Jorge Mart铆n Fr铆as, en nombre del Grupo PfE. 鈥� Se帽or presidente, se帽or铆as, la Comisi贸n ha desempe帽ado un lamentable papel desde los terribles atentados cometidos contra Israel el 7 de octubre; un papel en el que ha predominado la equidistancia, cuando no el ataque al Gobierno de Israel.

Situar en el mismo nivel 鈥攃omo acaba de hacer la Corte Penal Internacional y ha abrazado, con entusiasmo, el se帽or Borrell鈥� a una organizaci贸n terrorista como Ham谩s y al primer ministro de una naci贸n democr谩tica como el se帽or Benjam铆n Netanyahu, denota una falta de claridad moral que demuestra hasta qu茅 punto el multilateralismo est谩 podrido y tomado por las peores causas e ideas del islamoizquierdismo.

驴Cu谩ntas 贸rdenes ha emitido la Corte Penal Internacional contra los cabecillas criminales de reg铆menes totalitarios como el de La Habana, Caracas, Teher谩n y Managua? 驴O contra los responsables del UNRWA que han permitido que haya asesinos entre sus empleados?

Se帽or铆as, Israel debe defenderse y proteger a sus ciudadanos.

听听Bert-Jan Ruissen, namens de ECR-Fractie. 鈥� Voorzitter, dat de humanitaire situatie in Gaza uitermate zorgelijk is en dat we er daarom alles aan moeten doen om de hulp ter plekke te krijgen, ik denk dat we het daar vandaag snel over eens zijn.

Als dat echter onze belangrijkste zorg is, dan begrijp ik niet waarom de Commissie en sommige collega鈥檚 alleen maar naar UNRWA kijken. Alsof dat de enige instantie is die zou kunnen helpen. Dat is namelijk niet zo. Er zijn wel degelijk alternatieven. Denk aan UNOCHA, UNHCR, het World Food Programme. Instanties die erop zijn ingericht om op heel korte termijn noodhulp te bieden in crisisgebieden. Zeker nu Isra毛l UNRWA terecht in de ban doet vanwege de banden met Hamas, moeten we wel andere instanties gaan inzetten.

Laten we bij dat alles ook de gijzelaars inderdaad niet vergeten. Ook vandaag zeggen we: Hamas, laat ze gaan!

Tegen lidstaten die zich nu blind achter het ICC scharen en zeggen bereid te zijn Netanyahu te arresteren, zeg ik: u vergist zich! Landen hebben hierin namelijk ook een eigen verantwoordelijkheid en hebben op zijn minst de plicht na te gaan of de onderbouwing van het arrestatiebevel wel deugt. Daar zijn namelijk hele grote vraagtekens bij te zetten.

听听Hilde Vautmans, namens de Renew-Fractie. 鈥� Voorzitter, het wordt moeilijk om me met mijn speech aan mijn blad te houden na zulke uitlatingen van collega Ruissen, maar ik ga het toch maar doen.

De oorlog in Isra毛l en Palestina houdt Europa een fameuze spiegel voor. Wij hebben hier, collega Ruissen, altijd de mond vol over het internationaal recht wanneer het over China of Rusland gaat. Nu echter die westerse bondgenoot geconfronteerd wordt met datzelfde internationaal recht, horen we een oorverdovende stilte, en zelfs protest en ontkenning hier op de banken. Als het arrestatiebevel van het Internationaal Strafhof genegeerd wordt, is het internationaal strafrecht niets meer waard.

Wat me minstens evenveel zorgen baart, is de dramatische humanitaire situatie daar. Het is onwaarschijnlijk wat daar gebeurt. V贸贸r de aanslagen 500听vrachtwagens per maand, nu nog听37.

Ik heb hier heel veel analyses gehoord. Ik heb twee heel concrete vragen. Ten eerste: Hoe gaat Europa ervoor zorgen dat het Internationaal Strafhof en de uitspraken gerespecteerd worden door alle Europese lidstaten? En ten tweede: Hoe gaat u ervoor zorgen dat UNRWA nu, onmiddellijk toegang krijgt? Er is, collega Ruissen, geen alternatief 鈥� (De Voorzitter ontneemt de spreker het woord)

听听Catarina Vieira, on behalf of the Verts/ALE Group. 鈥� Mr President, dear Commissioner, international law emerged as a safeguard against the horrors that humanity should never repeat. But that safeguard is under immense pressure today.

In Gaza, we see unthinkable destruction, mass displacement, civilians that are deliberately targeted and starvation being used as a method of warfare. So, naturally, internationally recognised judicial bodies are ringing all the alarm bells about Israeli war crimes. The ICJ concluded that there is a risk of genocide. The ICC issued an arrest warrant against Prime Minister Netanyahu.

But what does this change? Israel is still a major Western partner. Our weapons are still being exported there, our agreements are still not being questioned. Some Member States are even outright dismissing the ICC decision. If we apply double standards for Israel, why would anyone adhere to the rules? International law only works if it's strongly enforced, regardless of the perpetrator, and that is what the European Union must do.

听听Lynn Boylan, on behalf of The Left Group. 鈥� A Uachtar谩in, the international order is very clear. Targeted attacks against civilian infrastructure, with the clear aim to cut off men, women and children from water, electricity and heating are pure acts of terror.

These are war crimes. I absolutely agree, and so did President von der Leyen, because they are her words in October 2022. However, fast forward to November 2024 and the ICC have issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, citing starvation and the deliberate deprivation of food, water and medical supplies to a civilian population as the basis for the charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Yet there has been radio silence from President von der Leyen and frankly, the mealy-mouthed responses from some Member States have been shameful. The EU's credibility is in shreds, not just in Palestine and the Global South, but even within its own Member States. Israel is driving a coach and horses through the institutions of international law and multilateralism, and they are being aided and abetted by these institutions.

Arming Israel is complicity with genocide. Trading with Israel is complicity. Absence of sanctions is complicity. International law depends on the willingness of governments to support justice, no matter where the abuses are committed or by whom. The failure to defend international law is a threat to all of us. This is not about politics, it's not about personalities 鈥� it's about justice. It's time to sanction Israel.

听听Antonio L贸pez-Ist煤riz White (PPE). 鈥� Se帽or presidente, una vez m谩s estamos reunidos aqu铆, como cada mes desde hace un a帽o, para seguir discutiendo sobre este terrible conflicto, sin aportar ninguna soluci贸n desde esta Casa. Pero eso s铆, servir谩 鈥攎e imagino鈥� para justificar las redes sociales y las notas de prensa de la ultraizquierda.

Por favor, dejen de utilizar el sufrimiento de los pueblos palestinos e israel铆es para sus campa帽as pol铆ticas, se帽ores de la ultraizquierda, y aporten soluciones ya de una vez. Soluciones que yo mismo pienso estudiar si reconocen que Ham谩s fue la que empez贸 esa tragedia, si reconocen que Ir谩n financia y apoya a Ham谩s y a Hizbul谩, si piden la liberaci贸n de los rehenes israel铆es, si condenan las torturas, las violaciones y los asesinatos de Ham谩s sobre ciudadanos, especialmente mujeres, israel铆es, si reconocen el derecho de Israel a existir y a no ser borrada del mapa, como asociaciones con las que ustedes trabajan piden diariamente.

Si confirman estos cinco puntos, entonces merecer谩 la pena venir aqu铆 a debatir en este pleno.

听听Nacho S谩nchez Amor (S&D). 鈥� Se帽or presidente, se帽or L贸pez-Ist煤riz, yo compro esas cinco premisas. Es dif铆cil encontrar nuevas palabras, pero vamos a intentarlo.

Los dobles est谩ndares son el c谩ncer de la pol铆tica exterior de la Uni贸n Europea: erosionan gravemente nuestra credibilidad en el mundo y, especialmente, en el sur global. Y, a pesar de ello, insistimos en exhibirlos con frivolidad cada vez que tratamos la guerra de agresi贸n rusa y la monstruosa desproporci贸n del invocado derecho de autoprotecci贸n de Israel.

La autom谩tica acusaci贸n de antisemitismo ante cualquier cr铆tica est谩 vaciando de sentido el concepto: si todos somos antisemitas, al final nadie lo es; estamos castrando el grave contenido de esa acusaci贸n de tanto manosearlo. El pueblo jud铆o est谩 perdiendo un escudo, una protecci贸n que ha conservado, hasta ahora, todo el sentido hist贸rico y toda su capacidad de proteger.

No hay un Derecho internacional para Rusia y otro para Israel: son el mismo Derecho internacional, y nuestra posici贸n tiene que ser la misma ante similares violaciones. Y eso, por supuesto, incluye los mandatos de detenci贸n de los tribunales internacionales, que merecen nuestra protecci贸n, para que, tras la guerra, no queden igual de arrasados que la Franja de Gaza.

No hemos podido salvar a Gaza; salvemos, al menos, la justicia internacional.

听听Rihards Kols (ECR). 鈥� Mr听President, dear colleagues, the escalation in the Middle East calls for moral clarity and actionable pragmatism. Israel has every right to defend itself against terror and peace cannot be built while hostages remain captive. We demand their unconditional and immediate release.

But let us address another obstacle to stability: UNRWA. This organisation 鈥� intended as temporary measure 鈥� has evolved into a bureaucratic nightmare, from educational curriculums promoting hatred to the misuse of facilities by Hamas, it has abdicated neutrality and failed its mandate.

Alternatives do exist, as we have heard in public expert discourse. Yet, Mr听Borrell has continued to fuel anti鈥慖srael sentiment, shifting the Overton window to dangerous extremes.

This failure of balance does not foster peace. It undermines it. Events like the recent pogrom鈥憀ike violence in Amsterdam show us the consequences of this recklessness.

Peace in the Middle East demands engagement from all regional players and solutions that address the root issues, not one鈥憇ided narratives or institutional inertia.

听听Barry Andrews (Renew). 鈥� Mr President, Commissioner, I would first of all say that Mr听Kols is wrong, of course:听the European Union carried out a very extensive evaluation to satisfy itself that there is no risk whatsoever of the diversion of EU funding from its intended purpose. That has been established time and time again by the European Commission.

I would call on the President of the Commission to make a statement putting the full weight of the European Commission behind a request to the Government of Israel to request the Knesset to extend the 90-day period, because, as everybody knows, there is no replacement for UNRWA.

As our HR/VP said, all ICC decisions are binding on all Member States. Despite the overwhelming support of EU Member States, we have had no statement from the President of the Commission, and I think it is reasonable to conclude that that silence undermines the legitimacy of the Court and of international law.

The EU Action Plan on the ICC states: 'The EU and its Member States will undertake consistent action to encourage full cooperation of states with the ICC, including the prompt execution of arrest warrants'.

These are pillars our civilisation is about. And who is fighting at the utmost frontier for this civilisation and for these values? It's the Israeli Defence Forces, it's the Israeli government and it's the Israeli people in the first place.

So, I very much listen also to courts, but I also very much use my right to say my opinion in the framework of freedom of speech, freedom of expression.

I think Churchill won the Second World War, not alone, but he was the leader. Netanyahu will win the war for this very civilisation, not alone, but he is the leader.

He will be politically defined by the people of Israel in the first place because this is a democratic country 鈥� and this is one other of the pillars of our civilisation.听This is also what people in The Hague, decision takers there should understand.

听听Evin Incir (S&D). 鈥� Mr President, let's be clear about the actions of some individuals and political groups in here. It is hypocrisy to question the ICC arrest warrant. It is shameful that the far-right groups and the conservative EPP attempted to block this issue from today's agenda. I expected such behaviour from anti-democrats, but what justification does the EPP Group have?

The ICC arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, former Defence Minister Gallant and Hamas commander-in-chief Deif should not be questioned by anyone. It is an obligation of all our Member States to implement it. It is their obligation 鈥� not question it, by anyone.

Respect for international law must be maintained consistently, regardless of who is the aggressor and who is the victim. And as far as I know, there is not an international law for Israel and another international law for the rest of the world.

There is no difference between perpetrators and those silently and actively watching people being killed. Don't forget that silence is to be complicit. Stop defending war crimes, for God's sake!

听听Elena Yoncheva (Renew). 鈥� Mr听President, dear colleagues, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is an urgent matter that affects hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees.听We must acknowledge the essential role played by the humanitarian agencies actively working on the ground.

UNRWA is a leading organisation providing food, shelter and health care to nearly 2听million听people and it's responsible for 63听% of primary health care just in Gaza. It's the only UN organisation, UN agency educating more than 350听000 children in Gaza and in the West Bank. Those services are crucial for the well鈥慴eing and dignity of the people there.

Yesterday, positive news regarding the possible peace deal for Lebanon offers a hope, a powerful reminder that peace is achievable. We must extend similar efforts to Gaza, promoting a two鈥憇tate solution. As the Union, we have the capacity to play a more active role in fostering peace.

听听Ana Miranda Paz (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Se帽or presidente, ahora mismo, 600听000 ni帽os necesitan vacunas contra la polio en Palestina. Hasta un mill贸n de personas han encontrado refugio durante la guerra gracias al trabajo y esfuerzo del UNRWA sobre el terreno. Ser铆a una cat谩strofe humanitaria, se帽ora comisaria, prohibir la presencia del UNRWA en Gaza y Cisjordania.

No existe un plan B por parte del Gobierno de Netanyahu; si se proh铆be la presencia del UNRWA, nadie proporcionar谩 ninguna ayuda a los palestinos. Repito: nadie. Sin embargo, Israel s铆 tiene un plan A, y ese plan consiste en dos pasos, se帽ores de la extrema derecha: limpieza 茅tnica y genocidio; porque lo que est谩 cometiendo es un genocidio.

La Corte Penal Internacional emiti贸 un mandato claro: Netanyahu es un criminal de guerra, y los criminales de guerra tienen que ser perseguidos tambi茅n en Europa. Sin embargo, la se帽ora Von der Leyen 鈥攓ue estar谩 aqu铆 ma帽ana鈥� ni siquiera se molest贸 en hacer un comentario al respecto. Una verdadera verg眉enza.

Dejen de socavar el Derecho internacional y humanitario y los derechos humanos y cuiden a la poblaci贸n palestina, que est谩 pasando hambre, est谩 sin hospitales y, sobre todo, est谩 siendo asesinada. 隆Viva el pueblo palestino!

听听Hildegard Bentele (PPE). 鈥� Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there is one single action that could decisively change the situation in Gaza: the release of the hostages by Hamas, unlike an ICC arrest warrant that oversteps its competences. It's been 417听days!

The State of Israel has had to fight repeatedly for its survival. The attack of 7听October was not spontaneous: it was backed by extensive military preparations and significant funding. Israel, understandably, is now determined once and for all to ensure its security with all its might.

However, the release of the hostages by Hamas would put significant pressure on Israel to alter its current actions in Gaza. Releasing 100听hostages in exchange for improving the humanitarian conditions for millions of Palestinians 鈥� only terrorists devoid of any humanity can reject that logic. Israel is offering USD听5听million per hostage to anyone who assists in their liberation.

Blurring the lines between terrorists and civilians, as well as the tolerance of terrorism, is one of the greatest threats to any society. I hope more and more people will become aware and engaged in this fight, and draw a clear line between those who are willing to embrace the values of life, dignity and humanity, and those who don't.

听听Marta Temido (S&D). 鈥� Senhor Presidente, Senhora Comiss谩ria, o 煤ltimo relat贸rio de avalia莽茫o do Comit茅 Especial da ONU 茅 inequ铆voco. Em Gaza, os palestinianos s茫o alvo de a莽玫es que intencionalmente lhes s茫o apenas dirigidas por serem palestinianos, de condi莽玫es de exist锚ncia fatais, com priva莽茫o de 谩gua e alimentos, de assassinatos em massa e atentados 脿 sua integridade f铆sica e ps铆quica, de desumaniza莽茫o permanente. Em suma, de uma pol铆tica com caracter铆sticas consistentes com aquilo que 茅 um genoc铆dio.

J谩 na Cisjord芒nia, onde a expans茫o dos colonatos israelitas e a restri莽茫o de direitos econ贸micos, sociais e culturais dos palestinianos constituem efetiva discrimina莽茫o, vive-se um regime de apartheid. Foi neste contexto que o TPI emitiu mandados de deten莽茫o, nomeadamente em rela莽茫o ao primeiro-ministro Netanyahu, por responsabilidade criminal, 脿 luz do direito internacional.听Esta n茫o 茅 uma decis茫o pol铆tica. 脡 uma decis茫o judicial. E cumpre aos 123 signat谩rios do Estatuto de Roma, nomeadamente os 27 Estados鈥慚embros da Uni茫o Europeia, garantir o seu cumprimento.

Mas sabemos bem que, para a popula莽茫o de Gaza e Cisjord芒nia, confrontada com uma estrat茅gia para lhe tornar a vida insuport谩vel,听confrontada com o novo modelo de guerra sem precedentes, o cumprimento deste mandato chegar谩 sempre tarde de mais. Por isso, n茫o deixaremos de insistir para que os Estados-Membros da Uni茫o honrem a sua especial responsabilidade hist贸rica e usem a sua diplomacia comum, agora mais do que nunca.

听听Irena Joveva (Renew). 鈥� Mr听President, I used to believe that the European Union embodies its core values, but how can anyone still believe that? What we are witnessing is crimes against humanity. Israel went as far as to making targeted deadly attacks on UNRWA staff and property, and when that didn't make them leave, they decided to ban them.

Still, the EU's silence and failure to condemn Israel's actions means we are de facto supporting it. I'll admit, I was hopeful last week that the EU will stand united in backing of the ICC ruling to issue arrest warrants against senior Israel leaders and Hamas officials, as we portray ourselves as defenders of the rule of law.

Yet, once again, the deeply rooted double standards have prevailed. You should be ashamed. And to all of you who still pick and choose when and for what you uphold EU values, there is no decision to be made. Do better colleagues and be quiet when the children are sleeping, not when they are being killed.

听听Emma Fourreau (The Left). 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, s'en prendre 脿 l'UNRWA, comme le fait Isra毛l, c'est affirmer d茅finitivement que l'on veut la fin du peuple palestinien. Mettre en doute sa neutralit茅, jusqu'ici en Europe, c'est affirmer d茅finitivement que le droit international n'a plus aucune valeur aux yeux des d茅fenseurs du g茅nocide.

Les pires criminels de guerre, toujours, pi茅tinent le droit international et entravent l'action humanitaire. Isra毛l d茅truit, massacre les femmes, affame les enfants, ass猫che les ressources vitales pour les Palestiniens pour les regarder mourir 脿 petit feu.

Le boucher Netanyahou veut couper la derni猫re main tendue 脿 la Palestine et porter le coup fatal 脿 une population plong茅e dans un effroyable d茅sastre humanitaire, que les ONG et les m茅decins constatent avec impuissance.

Isra毛l interdit les activit茅s de l'UNRWA; l'Union europ茅enne doit r茅pondre avec fermet茅, en suspendant enfin l'accord d'association et en r茅affirmant son soutien aux actions de l'ONU. Tous les 脡tats membres ont le devoir d'ex茅cuter le mandat d'arr锚t d茅livr茅 par la Cour p茅nale internationale 脿 l'endroit du criminel de guerre Netanyahou.

Njihovi lideri imaju optu啪nice Me膽unarodnog kaznenog suda. Me膽utim, ipak postoji jedna fundamentalna razlika. Ona je sljede膰a: 24. velja膷e 2022. Rusija je pokrenula agresiju. 7. listopada 2023.

听听Matja啪 Nemec (S&D). 鈥� Mr President, dear colleagues, in the light of the daily war crimes committed in Gaza and Lebanon, the ICC arrest warrants are a grim consolation for tens of thousands of victims. I welcome the ICC's decision and call on all states to respect it and to defend international law and institutions. Let us be clear: protecting international law and ensuring accountability for all, regardless of nationality or position, is imperative.

The ICC must fulfil its mandate to uphold justice and prevent future violations. This applies equally to Putin and Netanyahu 鈥� both facing war crimes charges. What's even more striking than the double standards often applied, including in the EU institutions, toward Israel, is the silence of President von der Leyen. Silence is complicity.

In 2012, the European Union received a prize for its contribution to post-war peace in Europe. The question is: does it still deserve it? The actions of its leaders speak for themselves. Not in my name!

Ceasefire now! Sanctions now! Peace now!

听听Lucia Yar (Renew). 鈥� Mr听President, dear colleagues, nothing can justify the brutal Hamas attack on 7听October or the suffering of Israelis still held hostage. While recognising Israel's right to self-defence, it is impossible to justify its response, resulting in over 40听000 civilian deaths in Gaza.

And I want to address this humanitarian catastrophe happening in front of our eyes: this winter, millions of Palestinians face hunger and diseases, lacking homes, food and medical supplies.

The role of UNRWA is vital. It is providing essentials like food, water, healthcare and education, and there is no replacement in the region.听Israel's bills labelling this UN agency as terrorist organisation take effect in two months. Yet, as I said, there is absolutely no viable alternative in the region that can replace this agency's crucial aid.

Let me be clear: Israel has no plan听B for war refugees, and if we all fail to act, history will judge us.

听听Per Clausen (The Left). 鈥� Hr. formand! Arrestordren fra Den Internationale Domstol var klar.

听听Wouter Beke (PPE). 鈥� Voorzitter, een moorddadige aanslag op 8听oktober in Isra毛l. De beelden uit het Midden-Oosten: tienduizenden burgerslachtoffers, waaronder veel kinderen, ook in de Gaza. Onafgebroken Isra毛lische bombardementen in Libanon. Om nog maar te zwijgen van de gruweldaden van Hamas en Hezbollah die hele samenlevingen ontwrichten, vaak gesteund door het Iraanse regime.

Er is geen goede kant aan dit verhaal. Er is maar 茅茅n kant waar we achter moeten staan en dat is die van het internationaal recht. Als vredesproject, par excellence, moet Europa meer doen, zowel in de humanitaire ondersteuning van slachtoffers als rond sancties tegen daders van zulk geweld.

Meer dan ooit moet er een duurzame oplossing gevonden worden in het Midden-Oosten, te beginnen met een tijdelijk en een gedragen vredesbestand. Daarvan is vandaag sprake. Een tijdelijk bestand van zestig dagen kan een eerste stap zijn. Het kan het begin zijn. Waar is Europa om dat mede mogelijk te maken?

听听Cecilia Strada (S&D). 鈥� Signor Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, per la seconda volta ci troviamo a discutere di Gaza e di Medio Oriente ma di nuovo senza un testo da votare, lasciando il Parlamento ancora vergognosamente muto davanti a una catastrofe umanitaria, davanti a un genocidio.

Ogni mese a Strasburgo parliamo di Ucraina, giustamente, e votiamo ogni tipo di sostegno alle vittime e di condanna dell'aggressore. Su questo invece stiamo zitti, nonostante le gravissime violazioni dei diritti umani e del diritto umanitario, l'invasione della sovranit脿 territoriale del Libano, i mandati di arresto per la leadership di israeliani e di Hamas, le vergognose leggi anti-UNRWA che aggraveranno ancora di pi霉 la situazione della popolazione palestinese, che 猫 gi脿 allo stremo.

Io ringrazio davvero di cuore l'alto rappresentante per aver mantenuto la barra dritta sui diritti umani in questi mesi, di fronte a un Consiglio invece incapace di mostrarsi responsabile.

Alla vigilia 鈥� forse 鈥� di un accordo sul cessate il fuoco in Libano, possiamo solo ribadire quel che chiediamo da inizio legislatura: cessate il fuoco a Gaza, che si vieti il commercio con gli insediamenti illegali e l'esportazione di armi verso Israele, che si liberino gli ostaggi e che i criminali di guerra vengano perseguiti senza impunit脿, quando sono terroristi e anche quando sono capi di governo.

听听Ingeborg Ter Laak (PPE). 鈥� Voorzitter, ik vraag u om even stil te staan: 90听% van de bewoners in Gaza hebben geen huis meer. Van alle doden: vier op de tien doden zijn kinderen, de meesten tussen de vijf en negen jaar, en toegang tot humanitaire hulp is nul. Wij mogen niet wegkijken.

Momenteel is de hele regio instabiel, met meerdere fronten waar gevechten plaatsvinden. Daarom zijn humanitaire organisaties zoals UNRWA nodig om humanitaire hulp te verlenen en meer slachtoffers te voorkomen. Wij moeten blijven werken aan een vreedzame en duurzame oplossing voor het complexe conflict. De onderhandelingen over een staakt-het-vuren en de onderhandelingen over het vrijlaten van alle gijzelaars moeten daarom doorgaan. Want alleen samen, met alle partijen, kan er een oplossing worden gevonden voor dit conflict.

听听Thijs Reuten (S&D). 鈥� Voorzitter, de geweldspiraal in het Midden-Oosten draait door. Dag in, dag uit. We gaan het normaal vinden: enorme aantallen slachtoffers verdwijnen naar pagina zes en zeven, terwijl we wegkijken en de vernietiging van Gaza, de Palestijnse bevolking en dorpen/wijken in Libanon op haar beloop laten. De struisvogelpolitiek moet stoppen!

Er is geen rechtvaardiging voor het onvoorstelbare aantal burgerslachtoffers door geweld, maar ook door honger en verdrijving als wapen. De EU moet het internationaal recht strikt naleven. De arrestatiebevelen van het ICC zijn gerechtvaardigd en simpelweg bindend. Netanyahu鈥檚 barbaarse en disproportionele moordcampagne ondermijnt duurzame vrede en de vrijlating van de gijzelaars, want Netanyahu heeft de gijzelaars vanaf het begin in de steek gelaten.

Geen enkele hoeveelheid humanitaire hulp van de EU verbloemt het g锚nante gebrek aan concrete actie richting Isra毛l. Schort het associatieverdrag op. Stop de levering van wapens en stop het goedpraten van oorlogsmisdaden. Een mensenleven is een mensenleven. Recht op leven zou niet af moeten hangen van je nationaliteit of afkomst. En de reactie van de EU evenmin.

I budimo iskreni, Izrael je mnogo puta ponudio ruku Palestincima. Dopustio je stvaranje Palestinske samouprave devedesetih. Ehud Barak nudio je stvaranje palestinske dr啪ave na najve膰em dijelu Zapadne obale i cijelom teritoriju Gaze. Ariel 艩aron je 2005. naredio povla膷enje iz Gaze i ru拧enje svih 啪idovskih naselja.

Ukratko, stvari su jasne. Teroristi膷ka organizacija Hamas treba prestati postojati. Bilo kakvo relativiziranje toga je sramotno. Zato 啪alosti da i sada neki zastupnici u ovome domu poku拧avaju izjedna膷iti teroriste sa 啪rtvama, dok istovremeno diljem Europe islamisti, propalestinski prista拧e, 拧ire govor mr啪nje i podr啪avaju teroriste. Zato je va啪no nastaviti solidarizirati se sa 啪rtvama teroristi膷kog napada na Izrael i poduprijeti pravo Izraela na samoobranu.

听听Hana Jalloul Muro (S&D). 鈥� Mr President, we have to call for a ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza, for humanitarian aid to reach families in northern Gaza. We have always condemned the terrorist attacks of Hamas on 7听October. We demand the release of all hostages with no conditions. Families are suffering and Netanyahu is not bringing them back home.

We need an arms embargo that will avoid more deaths. We need the terrorists of Hezbollah to surrender arms and to reinforce the Lebanese Government and Lebanese institutions. We need to support the ICC decisions: we support them for Putin, so we need to support their decisions for Netanyahu, who is responsible for the killings of thousands of civilians.

We need to maintain the international law system. We need peace. People in the Middle East have the right to live. The lives of Jews and Arabs are worth the same. They are brothers and sisters. Ceasefire now!

听听Nina Carberry (PPE). 鈥� Mr President, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached unprecedented levels, with countless lives depending on the indispensable work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. Suspending funding for UNRWA would be catastrophic, cutting off critical services to millions of Palestinian refugees. No organisation matches UNRWA's comprehensive aid delivery in Gaza, and recent Israeli legislative efforts to ban its operations threaten to violate international law and jeopardise regional stability.

At this critical moment, the international community must uphold humanitarian principles, stand against these violations, and strengthen support for UNRWA's vital mission to save lives and maintain stability in the region.

听听Jaume Asens Llodr脿 (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Se帽or presidente, se帽ora comisaria, por orden de la Corte Penal Internacional, Netanyahu ya es un fugado de la justicia que debe ser perseguido, detenido y juzgado.

Pero no olvidemos una cosa importante: al lado de 茅l, en el banquillo de acusados, deben estar tambi茅n los Estados Unidos y Europa, porque los l铆deres occidentales no participan directamente de los cr铆menes de Netanyahu, pero los hacen posible con su apoyo financiero, pol铆tico y militar.

Es cierto: los cientos de miles de v铆ctimas 鈥攍a mayor铆a ni帽os, ni帽as, mujeres...鈥� apuntan con su dedo acusador a Netanyahu, pero tambi茅n a Occidente. Su complicidad no es pasiva, es activa; como decimos los abogados penalistas: es cooperador necesario, tiene las manos manchadas de sangre.

Por eso, estas 贸rdenes de detenci贸n son un aviso a esos l铆deres 鈥攁 muchos de sus compa帽eros y compa帽eras鈥� que, quiz谩 alg煤n d铆a, reciban alg煤n aviso de la Corte Penal Internacional, que ya no es un mero instrumento al servicio de los poderosos, al servicio de Occidente, para perseguir a sus enemigos, a Putin, o los cr铆menes cometidos en 脕frica o en Asia; ahora est谩 ganando independencia.

Por tanto, yo que muchos de ustedes, no dormir铆a tranquilo porque, a veces, la justicia act煤a, y no siempre sale gratis cometer delitos o apoyarlos.

L'embarras de Mme听von der Leyen, qui n'arrive pas 脿 poster un tweet pour dire: 芦Ah ben oui, Poutine, oui oui, je veux qu'il soit arr锚t茅, mais M.听Netanyahou, mon alli茅, mon ami, doit 锚tre arr锚t茅 aussi!禄, est palpable partout dans le monde. Et, partout dans le monde, on voit que cette Union europ茅enne a deux听poids, deux听mesures et听鈥� m锚me si elle pr茅tend le contraire听鈥� que les vies palestiniennes ne valent pas, pour cette Union europ茅enne, ce que valent les vies ukrainiennes. Que m锚me dans ce Parlement, on n'arrive pas 脿 voter une r茅solution pour condamner les crimes de guerre isra茅liens. C'est inacceptable!

Alors aujourd'hui, dans ce monde, l'Europe a un choix 脿 faire: est-on du c么t茅 de la justice ou du c么t茅 du colonialisme, ill茅gal, isra茅lien? Faisons ce choix et faisons-le maintenant.

(End of catch-the-eye procedure)

听听Elisa Ferreira, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Mr听President and honourable Members, the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate. Too many people are dying. We believe that the European Union cannot stay silent.

Last week, at the Foreign Affairs Council, the High Representative听/听Vice-President proposed to the European Union foreign ministers to suspend the political dialogue with Israel. Member States did not agree with this proposal. We do hope that Member States will be able to agree on sanctioning violent settlers and those that enable them in the West Bank, as well as Hamas supporters.

After the United States election, the European Union's engagement on the two-state solution will be all the more important, including through the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution. Some 100 states and international organisations participate in the initiative.

The recent meeting in Riyadh, which gathered nearly 100 representatives of states and international organisations, demonstrated the broad interest in this platform. The High Representative听/听Vice-President will chair 鈥� with the Belgian Foreign Minister, incoming Commissioner Hadja Lahbib 鈥� the next meeting of the Global Alliance in Brussels on 28听November, at the invitation of Belgium and the European Union.

Our intention is to use the meeting to push for more structured cooperation on practical contributions to help protect and advance the two-state solution. We should try to reinforce this alliance, as we know well that only a political solution with the deep involvement of Israel and Palestine's neighbours will bring peace and stability in the Middle East.

听听President. 鈥� The debate is closed.
