Presidente. – L'ordine del giorno reca la dichiarazione della Vicepresidente della Commissione/Alta rappresentante dell'Unione per gli affari esteri e la politica di sicurezza – Drammatica situazione a Gaza e necessità di un ritorno immediato alla piena attuazione dell'accordo di cessate il fuoco e di liberazione degli ostaggi ().

Kaja Kallas, Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. – Madam President, honourable Members of the European Ϸվ, last week I visited the Middle East. The visit came at a particularly volatile time, just days after the breakdown of the ceasefire in Gaza, which has caused an appalling loss of life. Through this visit, I wanted to send a clear sign of the EU's commitment to de-escalation and support for immediate ceasefire. My message was clear: in a new war, both sides lose. I had the chance to pass clear messages underscoring the EU's priorities for Gaza, as stated by European Union leaders at the European Council in March – the release of hostages, an immediate return to the ceasefire and the resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries at scale into the Gaza Strip.

I started my visit in Egypt, where I met the Foreign Minister Abdelatty to discuss bilateral and regional topics. I also met the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee, with whom we issued a joint statement on the Arab plan for Gaza. And then I travelled to Israel to meet President Herzog, Foreign Minister Sa'ar, and the opposition leader, Yair Lapid.

I also met the relatives of the hostages held by Hamas and paid a visit to Yad Vashem. In Palestine, I met the President Abbas and Prime Minister Mustafa. I also met with the heads of the EU Border Assistance Mission in Rafah and our EU police mission to express my appreciation for the work of the two missions. The resumption of negotiations is the most viable way to find a way forward and get the hostages out. I reiterated the European Union's full support of the efforts of the negotiators.

It's clear that violence only feeds more violence. The Arab plan, albeit still not conclusive on some very important issues of governance, security and cost-sharing, remains relevant even in the context of resumed hostilities. And I was very clear on the two-state solution as the only way to reach sustainable peace and security for Israel, the Palestinians and the region. The EU has repeatedly stated there must be no role for Hamas in Gaza's governance. The popular protests ongoing in Israel are an important development. It is clear that people are making their voices heard to try to shape a better future.

In the West Bank another serious situation is unfolding, which I also raised with my interlocutors during my visit. The Israeli operation against armed militias in the refugee camps of the northern West Bank has led to casualties, displacement of some 40000 Palestinians and the destruction of vital civilian infrastructure. In parallel, settler violence, the approval of new settlements, evictions, demolitions and forced transfers of Palestinians are increasing. All these actions are seriously undermining the viability of the Palestinian Authority, but also causing grave harm to the Palestinian people.

Honourable Members, the European Union is the biggest donor of aid to Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, and the EU is playing its part to try to ease the difficult situation in the occupied territories.

Just three examples– first, through our humanitarian aid. The Commission announced initial funding of EUR120million for Gaza in 2025. This brings the total to over EUR450million since 2023. Our partners on the ground worked tirelessly to fill the warehouses in Gaza during the two-month ceasefire. The EU also remains committed in its support of UNWRA.

Second, at the request of all parties, our EUBAM Rafah mission was reactivated at the Rafah crossing point. It helped more than 4000 people to cross the border, including more than 1600 requiring medical attention, during the temporary ceasefire. The resumed hostilities led to the closure of the Rafah crossing point, but the mission is ready to return when conditions follow, and they are also ready to help give humanitarian aid.

Thirdly, in the context of seeking stability of the West Bank, but also in the view of the Palestinian Authority's return to Gaza, the EU will continue to provide support to the Palestinian Authority, linked with reforms. The first-ever high-level dialogue with the Palestinian Authority is also in two weeks' time, and it represents a significant milestone in our relations with the Palestinians. It is also the occasion to discuss all of these issues in the presence of EU ministers, and confirm our support of peace in the region.

Hildegard Bentele, on behalf of the PPE Group. – Madam President, dear colleagues, the battle to drive Hamas out of Gaza is getting more and more intense. For the first time, Palestinians themselves have also taken to the streets against Hamas. I think we all hope that Hamas, this terrible oppressor of the Palestinian population and huge threat to innocent Israelis, will be defeated once and for all. That is still missing – living hostages will finally be liberated of Hamas tunnels and see light, food and love again. It has been 543days.

We, as the EU, as we all know, do not play a role in the current negotiations. But we could and should start to engage ourselves in the competition of ideas for the day after. I recommend that we do this in close cooperation with the Arab neighbours and the key players in the region. We should initiate and support any kind of process which leads to political emancipation from Hamas and to de-radicalisation. We, as the EU, have insisted that the Palestinian Authority engages in reform and becomes an independent, terror-free Palestinian state, potentially also including Gaza.

What we need now are fresh, creative and politically grounded ideas. I would like to invite you, our new high representative, to engage with the Ϸվ in this regard and to continue visiting the region and testing solutions, together with regional actors, open to our values and respected by both of the conflicting parties.

Evin Incir, on behalf of the S&D Group. – Madam President, a new debate, a new watered-down title. Let's see what Elvis Presley said: 'Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't going away.'

Let's talk about the Israeli far-right government: an ICC arrest warrant on Prime Minister Netanyahu; over 50000 people killed in Gaza in just the last 1.5 years – over 70% women and children; war crimes committed; crimes against humanity; sexual and gender-based violence. On 23March, Israel killed 50 healthcare workers and threw them into mass graves. Starvation is being used as a weapon through banning the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. But hey, the crimes seem to not be enough for the EU to act – to act in accordance with our own values.

Let me remind everybody about the respect for human rights and democratic principle constituting the basis of Article2 in the EU-Israel Association Agreement. What does the Commission and the Member States do? Nothing. You know what that's called? Hypocrisy.

Fabrice Leggeri, au nom du groupe PfE. – Madame la Présidente, cinq cent quarante-trois jours. Cinq cent quarante-trois jours et encore 59otages qui sont toujours retenus par le Hamas, dont 24 présumés vivants. Cinq cent quarante-trois jours d’angoisse et de souffrance. En Israël, nous avons vu l’indicible: des femmes violées avant d’être massacrées, des familles anéanties, des enfants arrachés à leurs parents. Les images étaient insoutenables.

La semaine dernière, une conférence au Parlement européen nous racontait déjà cette horreur: des viols de masse utilisés comme arme de guerre, une barbarie absolue. Pourtant, certains détournent encore les yeux. L’extrême gauche refuse de voir la vérité. Elle refuse de qualifier le Hamas de terroriste, propage sa propagande haineuse et justifie l’injustifiable.

Mais aujourd’hui, même à Gaza, la population se soulève contre le Hamas, contre ceux qui l’utilisent comme bouclier humain. Ici, certains réclament un cessez-le-feu immédiat, sans même exiger la libération des otages –une compromission inacceptable.

Nous le disons ici avec force: il ne peut y avoir de paix sans justice et il ne peut y avoir de cessez-le-feu sans la libération immédiate et sans condition de tous les otages. Cinq cent quarante-trois jours, c’est déjà trop. L’inaction et la lâcheté doivent cesser.

Bert-Jan Ruissen, namens de ECR-Fractie. – Voorzitter, beste collega’s, eindelijk waren ze daar: protesten in Gaza tegen het terroristenbewind van Hamas. Maar helaas, het was maar een kleine minderheid. Het overgrote deel van de Palestijnen staat nog steeds vierkant achter Hamas.

Wij zullen daarom, als we willen werken aan een duurzame vrede in de regio, niet alleen moeten inzetten op een staakt-het-vuren en vrijlating van de gijzelaars, maar zeker ook op deradicalisering. Als belangrijke donor van de Palestijnen heeft de Europese Unie daar ook de tools voor. Wij kunnen president Abbas bijvoorbeeld dwingen de schoolboeken, die doordrenkt zijn van Jodenhaat, grondig aan te passen. Wetend dat ze ook in Gaza het curriculum van de Palestijnse Autoriteit volgen, zou dat een enorme verandering teweeg kunnen brengen.

Commissie, mevrouw de hoge vertegenwoordiger, maak hier alsjeblieft werk van. Want echt hoor, deradicalisering begint in het onderwijs. Ik weet zeker dat we daar de vredesbetogers en Gaza een enorme dienst mee zullen bewijzen.

Hilde Vautmans, namens de Renew-Fractie. – Voorzitter, collega’s, mevrouw de hoge vertegenwoordiger, afgelopen week was er alweer een nieuw dieptepunt in de gruwel die Gaza heet. Een massagraf met humanitaire medewerkers van het Rode Kruis. Laat mij mijn steun en medeleven betuigen aan de families van deze hulpverleners. Dat je zo laf kan zijn om mensen te doden die daar zijn om te helpen. Het is niet te begrijpen! Voor mij is het duidelijk: dit zijn oorlogsmisdaden.

Mevrouw Kallas, we hebben nu nood aan een eensgezinde Europese aanpak. Orbán ontving net Netanyahu, tegen wie een internationaal aanhoudingsbevel loopt, en Europa blijft oorverdovend stil. Daarom vraag ik opnieuw om de druk op te voeren. Eis alsjeblieft van Hongarije dat het het internationaal recht respecteert en zet artikel7 eindelijk in tegen Orbán, zoals Merz het vraagt. Zorg ervoor dat beide partijen een wapenstilstand respecteren. Alle gijzelaars moeten onmiddellijk en onvoorwaardelijk worden vrijgelaten. Humanitaire hulp moet nu Gaza binnenkomen.

Villy Søvndal, for Verts/ALE-Gruppen. – Fru formand! I Gazastribens ruiner har to millioner palæstinensere mistet alt. Virkelig alt. Siden 2. marts har Israel blokeret adgangen for nødhjælp, mad og medicin. De har lukket for strøm og vand. 18. marts brød Israel våbenhvilen, og siden har bomberne skabt mere død og ødelæggelse. Netanyahu og Trump taler nu åbent om udrensning af det palæstinensiske folk. Han truede med helvede på jord. Gazas befolkning kender allerede alt til helvede på jord, og selv i den fuldstændige ubærlige situation magter mennesker alligevel at demonstrere mod Hamas. Sikke en modstandskraft. Samtidig forbyder Israel UNRWA, der var garantien for neutral nødhjælp, undervisning og sundhed. Trump og Netanyahu har vendt det internationale retssystem ryggen. Vi europæere må nu vise, at vi tror på regler og rettigheder. At vi har lært af historien og står sammen mod had og vold. Derfor skal vi sikre betingelser for en levedygtig palæstinensisk stat.

Irene Montero, en nombre del Grupo The Left. – Señora presidenta, pensaba que, como no han apercibido a la alta representante por estrechar su mano con un genocida, pues hoy sí que nos dejarían mostrar el apoyo y la solidaridad al pueblo palestino y a las víctimas del genocidio.

Alta representante, seis días y 730 palestinos asesinados después de la ruptura unilateral del alto el fuego, usted viaja a Israel para mostrarles su solidaridad y reafirmar que son muy buenos socios. Si somos socios de un Estado genocida, ¿dónde quedan los valores europeos? ¿Bombardear escuelas, hospitales, ambulancias en Gaza son valores europeos? ¿Asesinar a 50000 palestinos, forzar a millones de familias a abandonar sus casas y sus tierras, sitiar a la población sin energía y sin alimentos, quemar a niños y niñas en campos de refugiados son valores europeos?

Señora Kallas, este genocidio se está llevando a cabo con armas europeas, y nuestros puertos y nuestros aeropuertos están siendo rutas imprescindibles para que lleguen a Israel las armas con las que se comete esta barbarie. Díganos, señora Kallas, con el plan de rearme, ¿seguirá comprando Europa armas probadas en cuerpos de niñas y niños palestinos?

Señora Kallas, el Estado terrorista de Israel es un peligro para Europa y para toda la humanidad. Su Comisión es responsable de dar apoyo militar, económico y político a los genocidas. Yo hoy tengo la oportunidad de decirle, señora Kallas, lo que muchos europeos y europeas quieren decirle: no en nuestro nombre y no con nuestro silencio.

Los genocidas, señora Kallas, no pueden quedar en la impunidad. Pero le digo con toda honestidad que yo espero que ustedes, esta Comisión Europea, también termine siendo juzgada en un tribunal internacional por complicidad con los genocidas.

Alice Teodorescu Måwe (PPE). – Fru talman! "Ner med Hamas", skanderade nyligen modiga palestinier med livet som insats, alltmedan bortskämda västerlänningar aldrig skulle ta motsvarande ord i sin mun. På europeiska gator och torg skildras nämligen terroristerna fortsatt som frihetskämpar.

Odai al-Rabei var bara 22 år när han i dagarna torterades och mördades som straff för sitt deltagande i protesterna i Gaza. Samma öde har mött ytterligare andra som uttryckt sin vrede mot Hamas, som fortsatt håller 59 israeler gisslan, samtidigt som de omöjliggör den vapenvila som skulle befria palestinierna från krigets lidande.

Det folkliga upproret må vara litet i omfattning, men dess symbolvärde är extraordinärt. En tvåstatslösning förutsätter ett Gaza fritt från judehatande terrorister, fritt från dem som enbart ser den palestinska befolkningen som tacksamma civila sköldar i propagandakriget mot Israel.

Tystnaden från den påstått pro-palestinska gruppen tyder dessvärre på att det aldrig handlade om solidaritet med palestinierna, utan hat mot judarna. Med sådana vänner behöver palestinierna inga fiender.

Sebastiaan Stöteler (PfE). – MadamPresident, High Representative, to address the situation in Gaza, which gets worse by the day, we need to look further than what's happening between Israel and Hamas.

We should look at the whole of the Middle East, because in one way or another, everyone is involved: Gaza, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, the IRGC in Iran, Egypt, Qatar – everyone.

But now we have to focus on Gaza. Since Hamas came to power in 2005, they banned or eliminated their political opponents in 2007 and used all their time to indoctrinate the society – to indoctrinate a whole generation of young Gazans with their Islamic, antisemitic and anti-Israel propaganda.

They use resources to dig and build a military infrastructure to start war after war, aiming for the total annihilation of Israel and the Jewish people. Hamas took their best shots on 7October 2023.

Now, how do we solve this? Long term, the problems in Gaza are massive and plentiful: from deradicalisation to rebuilding civilian infrastructure. But for the short term, there are only two objectives: get the hostages back to Israel and remove Hamas from Gaza. Bring them home now.

MPphoto

Hana Jalloul Muro (S&D). – Madam President, Ms Kallas, thank you for being here – indeed, it's very important that you are here to address the issue of Gaza. Your stance on what is happening Gaza must be more forceful.

Just one week ago, during your press conference in Jerusalem, you failed to mention the 50200Gazans who have been killed by Israel. You are well aware that every time we have taken the floor in this chamber, we have called for the release of the hostages and unequivocally condemned terrorism. But Israel ended the ceasefire – and this is something we need to talk about. More than 900civilians, including children, humanitarian workers and journalists, have been killed. 142000people have been forcibly displaced in Gaza – 50000 in the West Bank, because the far-right Israeli government refuses to recognise the two-state solution. And tomorrow, Hungary will host Prime Minister Netanyahu despite the ICC arrest warrant.

What are you going to do about this? What are we going to do? Under Article29 of the Treaty on European Union, you, as High Representative, can propose specific sanctions to the Council. You need to do that – you must propose specific sanctions. Have you seen the violent settlers attacking Palestinians, even film directors? If we do not act swiftly, more children will be killed, more families buried under the rubble. And let us not forget about the hostages in captivity. They have the right to be free.

Barry Andrews (Renew). – Madam President, High Representative, just when you think it couldn't get any worse, you see the scenes coming out of Rafah this week. I think it's fair to say that most of us were absolutely stunned at the images. We know how hostile the IDF is towards UNWRA. We know how dangerous it is to deliver aid in Gaza, and we know how little respect there is for international humanitarian law.

Targeting the Palestinian Red Crescent and the Palestinian Civil Defence is bad enough. And I use the word targeting advisedly, given the sophistication of the IDF military, but then seeking to bury the evidence, evidence that bizarrely included an ambulance and a UN vehicle. And victims still wearing medical gloves. This has to count as one of the darkest episodes in the war.

And if the darkest hour is the one before the dawn, then let us hope that the Israelis will wake up to the fact that there is no military solution that will resolve the question of Palestinians right to self-determination. As you say yourself, High Representative, both sides lose. Violence feeds only more violence.

Ana Miranda Paz (Verts/ALE). – Señora presidenta, señora Kallas, la Unión Europea llega tarde. Llega tarde a un genocidio. ¿O no ve que estamos delante de un genocidio? Usted ha ido a Israel la semana pasada y les ha dado la mano a varios ministros. Aquí en el Parlamento se ha permitido también la entrada de varios ministros de Israel. Nosotros lo hemos denunciado, pero ustedes en la Unión Europea los siguen protegiendo, recibiéndolos, amparándolos, dejando que su impunidad esté libre.

El cese al fuego y el Ejército de Israel preparado para bombardear lo poco que queda de Gaza, sin ayuda humanitaria, incumpliendo todas las convenciones del Derecho internacional que dicen, alto y claro, que la ayuda humanitaria tiene que entrar siempre, con cese al fuego o sin cese al fuego.

Señora Kallas, el Derecho internacional dice que hay que amparar a un pueblo ocupado. El pueblo palestino es un pueblo ocupado y sobre todo en estos momentos, después de este genocidio y viendo como se ha hecho esta falta de cese al fuego, creo que hay que ir a la inmediata suspensión del Acuerdo entre Israel y la Unión Europea, como le hemos trasladado varios y varias eurodiputadas.

Γιώργος Γεωργίου (The Left). – Κυρία Πρόεδρε, κυρία Kallas, διερωτώμαι γιατί συζητάτε ακόμα. Για να τηρείτε τα προσχήματα; Αφού δεν έμεινε τίποτα. Σχολεία, κέντρα υγείας, υποδομές έγιναν ερείπια. 50 000 Παλαιστίνιοι έχουν δολοφονηθεί και άλλοι τόσοι είναι οι αγνοούμενοι. Στην πλειοψηφία τους είναι παιδιά, γυναίκες και ηλικιωμένοι. Πώς μπορείτε να κοιμάστε τα βράδια; Ειλικρινά το ρωτώ. Τώρα ο όλεθρος ολοκληρώνεται —λέει ο Gideon Levy, αρθρογράφος της Haaretz, ακόμα και το Ισραήλ τώρα δεν μπορεί να κρύψει ότι χτυπά άμαχο πληθυσμό. Αυτό από μόνο του συνιστά έγκλημα πολέμου. Εσείς δεν το βλέπετε; Και εμείς εδώ ακόμα συζητάμε.

Μα πόση υποκρισία; Μπρος στα μάτια σας γίνεται μια εθνοκάθαρση του παλαιστινιακού λαού και εσείς επιβραβεύετε την βαρβαρότητα του Ισραήλ. Η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση έχει τα χέρια της βουτηγμένα στο αίμα. Αναστείλετε αμέσως κάθε συμφωνία με το Ισραήλ. Τερματίστε αμέσως την κατοχή. Δώστε στους Παλαιστίνιους το κράτος που δικαιούνται.

Ondřej Kolář (PPE). – Madam President, dear High Commissioner, dear colleagues, I think that we tend to have this debate or take it from the the bad end. And, you know, we sometimes tend to discuss who is the one to be blamed, who is the one behind this conflict.

And many people say it's Israel. Israel who is stealing land from the Palestinians, who is preventing them from enjoying their freedoms and all that. I think the one who is to blame is Hamas, not Israel. Hamas started the war. Hamas was the one. Or they were the ones who attacked on 7 October. They are the ones who are hiding behind civilians. They are the ones who are using schools and hospitals as shelters for their fighters. They are the ones who are stealing humanitarian aid from the people who need it. They are the ones who are still keeping Israeli hostages in Palestinian, in Gazan tunnels. There is nothing to discuss.

(The speaker agreed to take a blue-card question)

MPphoto

Rima Hassan (The Left), question «carton bleu». – Je dois dire que vos interventions sont un peu à la hauteur de votre médiocrité politique sur ce sujet. Les questions que vous soulevez sont en réalité déjà traitées par des juridictions internationales. Elles sont déjà traitées par des centaines de résolutions des Nations unies. La colonisation, l’occupation illégale, l’appartheid, le génocide: tout cela est documenté par tout ce que vous prétendez défendre ici, à savoir l’ordre international.

S’agissant du Hamas, je ne vous entends pas condamner les alliances et le rapprochement qu’il y a avec le régime de Netanyahou –le ministre de Netanyahou BezalelSmotrich a précisément dit que le Hamas était un atout et que l’Autorité palestinienne, qui a embrassé la voie diplomatique, était un fardeau. Donc, si vous êtes ici pour dénoncer le Hamas, dénoncez donc tous ceux qui le nourrissent, qui l’alimentent, pour nuire au projet palestinien, qui est un projet de libération et d’indépendance.

MPphoto

Ondřej Kolář (PPE), blue-card answer. – I don't agree with you that Israel would be feeding Hamas and Israel is not Benjamin Netanyahu. I never said that. I think that it's up to the Israelis to choose between a prime minister who has gone a bit wild, I would say, and someone who would have the approach of his predecessors, who were much more successful in the solving or the solution of this very complex and difficult question.

Matjaž Nemec (S&D). – Gospa predsednica! Spoštovana visoka predstavnica! Po propadu premirja 18. marca smo v Gazi spet ponovno priča razmahu vojne in vojnih zločinov s strani Izraela. Število civilnih žrtev je medtem preseglo nov žalosten mejnik 50.000, od tega 17.000 otrok.

V grozljivem napadu izraelske vojske je bilo samo včeraj umorjenih 15 reševalcev, ki so želeli pomagati žrtvam napada pred tem. Do zdaj je bilo ubitih 280 sodelavcev UNRWA. In kljub temu se ob tem še vedno slišijo pozivi k njeni ukinitvi. Kaj bo EU storila jutri, ko bo na Madžarskem Orban gostil vojnega zločinca Netanjahuja?

Naj spomnim, da smo od Mongolije zahtevali Putinovo aretacijo. Kdaj bomo resnično pričeli uporabljati enake standarde, kot naj bi jih Evropa branila v Ukrajini? Kdaj bomo vendarle prekinili pridružitveni sporazum EU z Izraelom?

Obsodbe vojnih zločinov Izraela podpredsednice Evropske komisije Von der Leyen in vas, spoštovana visoka predstavnica, še nismo slišali.

Torej, zahtevamo premirje in da se EU odločno postavi v bran mednarodnemu pravu in človeštvu. Holokavst ni opravičilo za genocid.

Tomáš Kubín (PfE). – Paní předsedající, vážená paní komisařko, už jsem si zvykl, že tady z levé strany sálu slyším, že od Izraelců se očekává, že zastaví válku, kterou nezačali, budou vyjednávat o míru s těmi, kteří ho nechtějí, a poskytovat humanitární pomoc těm, kteří je chtějí zabít. Takže, od 7. října 2023 bylo do Gazy posláno téměř 30 000 kamionů humanitární pomoci v hodnotě více než 3 miliardy dolarů. A co se s tou pomocí stalo? Hamás, který Gazu ovládá, ji zneužívá, rozděluje zásoby pro své bojovníky, prodává je na černém trhu a nechává obyvatele Gazy v bídě, zatímco jejich propaganda obviňuje Izrael. Hamás využívá toto utrpení jako zbraň k vymáhání dalších peněz od Západu. Jde o nejhorší případ organizovaného zločinu v dějinách lidstva, kdy Hamás zneužívá civilní obyvatele jako zbraň a nástroj k vydírání, a mučí a zabíjí ty, kteří protestují. Je načase, aby svět přestal jen sypat bezhlavě do Gazy pomoc a začal požadovat odpovědnost za to, co se tam děje.

Leoluca Orlando (Verts/ALE). – Signora Presidente, signora Vicepresidente, onorevoli colleghi, il genocidio d'Israele a danno dei palestinesi è ormai diventato l'esempio più pesante di violazione della legalità internazionale nel mondo da parte di uno Stato con un governo che non è stato condannato dall'Unione europea, e impropriamente viene considerato partner privilegiato e democratico.

Apartheid e genocidio, signora Vicepresidente, sono incompatibili con la democrazia. Cadono nel vuoto gli appelli a Israele di cessate il fuoco e si blocca, dopo la strage del 7ottobre, il rilascio immediato di tutti gli ostaggi, negando adesso, arbitrariamente e deliberatamente, il governo israeliano gli aiuti umanitari, anche da parte di agenzie delle Nazioni Unite.

Così facendo si commettono crimini di guerra, accertati dalla Corte penale internazionale, e che sembrano ignorati dai vertici europei.

Il dramma della Palestina pesa come un macigno sulla credibilità dell'Unione europea: si sospenda subito, signora Vicepresidente, l'accordo di associazione Israele-Unione europea e si metta al bando il commercio con prodotti provenienti dai territori illegalmente occupati.

Danilo Della Valle (The Left). – Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, ancora una volta non voteremo una risoluzione che condanni il genocidio in corso a Gaza. E voglio scandire bene questa parola: genocidio, perché è di questo che si tratta.

Quello che sta succedendo a Gaza è l'esempio più lampante dell'ipocrisia di chi guida questa istituzione: a giorni alterni si parla di democrazia e diritti umani, ma si continuano a stringere le mani di chi porta avanti la pulizia etnica del popolo palestinese.

Continuate a fare affari con il governo sionista di Netanyahu, mettendo la testa sotto la sabbia, come ha fatto l'Alta rappresentante Kallas qualche giorno fa, durante la sua visita a Israele.

Smettete una volta per tutte di parlare di democrazia quando si parla di Israele. Quello che sta facendo a Gaza Israele, dove blocca l'arrivo del cibo per affamare milioni di persone, dove si bombarda indiscriminatamente la popolazione civile da mesi, dove si pratica l'apartheid, ci riporta indietro alle barbarie della storia europea del Novecento.

Israele ora ha più volte violato il cessate il fuoco: l'Unione europea deve interrompere immediatamente tutti i rapporti commerciali e militari con Israele, perché non c'è nessun tasso di democraticità che tenga davanti a tutto questo orrore.

E voi siete responsabili di aver reso l'Europa complice di tutto questo.

Céline Imart (PPE). – Madame la Présidente, Madame la Haute Représentante, depuis une semaine des milliers de Gazaouis manifestent pour pouvoir décider de leur avenir démocratiquement, hors du joug islamiste et terroriste du Hamas, le même qui s’est arrogé, sans élections depuis2006, le monopole de la représentation, a fait de la mort un plan de communication et utilise des civils comme boucliers humains dans des écoles et dans des hôpitaux servant de centres d’intelligence au terrorisme.

Cette tragédie se déroule avec la complicité active de l’UNRWA, agence de l’ONU infiltrée de longue date par le Hamas, qui couvre des tunnels au lieu de creuser des puits et participe à l’endoctrinement des enfants dans des manuels scolaires, au détournement de l’aide humanitaire et à la détention d’otages, collaborant ainsi avec ceux qui ont assassiné de sang froid les plus jeunes otages du monde, les bébés de la famille Bibas.

Madame la Haute Représentante, j’exige, avec mon groupe du PPE –et je serai très attentive à vos réponses: premièrement, la fin du financement de l’UNRWA par l’Union européenne; deuxièmement, la libération immédiate des otages israéliens comme condition préalable à tout cessez-le-feu; troisièmement, des élections libres à Gaza, hors de l’emprise des terroristes du Hamas.

Benedetta Scuderi (Verts/ALE), domanda "cartellino blu". – Lei ha parlato tantissimo di tutte le colpe di Hamas, non ha detto una parola sulle colpe di Israele.

Quindi, per lei, il fatto che Israele stia bombardando ospedali, li stia mettendo sotto assedio e non permetta la protezione sanitaria; il fatto che abbia ucciso decine di migliaia di bambini; il fatto che non permetta l'entrata di aiuti umanitari; il fatto che abbia ripreso l'assedio e il genocidio di Gaza, dopo non aver rispettato il cessate il fuoco; il fatto di stare colonizzando la West Bank e di star prendendo le terre delle persone e di fare anche una pulizia etnica; di stare violando ogni virgola del diritto umanitario, non è un problema?

MPphoto

Céline Imart (PPE), réponse carton bleu. – Que le Hamas cesse de prendre comme boucliers humains les civils à Gaza, et Israël pourra cesser de bombarder les hôpitaux et les écoles! On ne pourra pas trouver de solution négociée à deux États tant que le Hamas continuera à refuser aux Gazaouis toute possibilité d’être représentés démocratiquement.

Je n’ai aucune leçon à recevoir de vous, Madame, ni de groupes comme les vôtres, qui, sous prétexte d’antisionisme, sont ouvertement antisémites!

Marta Temido (S&D). – Senhora Alta Representante, hoje quero falar‑lhe sobre o insuportável silêncio da União Europeia relativamente aos crimes do Governo do senhor Netanyahu.

O silêncio em que os nossos Estados‑Membros se refugiam, quando nesta Casa pedimos a suspensão do Acordo de Associação com Israel, porque condiciona as relações comerciais ao respeito pelos direitos humanos e todos os dias eles são violados em Gaza e na Cisjordânia.

O silêncio que a ouvimos, a si, manter na semana passada, quando lamentou a interrupção do cessar‑fogo entre Israel e o Hamas, sem nunca referir quem tantas vezes o violou e, por último, o quebrou.

O silêncio a que nós próprios, como deputados ao Parlamento Europeu, somos forçados, quando questionados pela opinião pública da Palestina, de Israel e dos nossos países.

O silêncio perante a instrumentalização política dos reféns do Hamas e os protestos em Jerusalém e Telavive, perante a morte de 50000 palestinianos e o lento extermínio da população que ainda vive em Gaza, privada de tudo, até de água.

O silêncio que lhe pedimos hoje que quebre, Senhora Alta Representante. Ajude‑nos a não perder a confiança nas nossas instituições.

Saskia Bricmont (Verts/ALE). – Madame la Présidente, 180enfants sont morts le 18mars, jour de la rupture du cessez-le-feu par Israël. Le nombre de personnes ayant perdu la vie dans la bande de Gaza depuis le 7octobre 2023 se monte donc à 50144. Outre cela, 1,9million d’autres personnes ont été déplacées, sans soins, sans nourriture, sans aide.

La situation se résume en un mot à Gaza: génocide. Génocide, Madame Kallas, dont l’Union européenne se rend complice en maintenant tous les canaux ouverts avec Israël en violation du droit international –complice par son silence, complice par son inaction. Où est passée notre humanité, réellement?

L’Union européenne sera jugée avec les responsables du génocide. L’Histoire nous jugera. L’Histoire vous jugera. Respectez la Cour pénale internationale et arrêtez Netanyahou s’il se rend sur le territoire de l’Union européenne, suspendez l’accord d’association avec Israël, adoptez des sanctions et un embargo sur les armes: voilà des leviers qui sont entre vos mains. Nous attendons, Madame la Haute Représentante, une action immédiate de l’Union européenne.

Estrella Galán (The Left). – Señora presidenta, hoy, como usted sabe, en Gaza no entra comida, no hay electricidad, no hay agua potable. En Gaza hoy solo hay horror. Y usted fue testigo.

Hablo de más de más de mil personas asesinadas desde que Israel ha roto el alto el fuego por los intereses mezquinos de su Gobierno criminal. Un Gobierno con el que usted, señora Kallas, se ha reunido sin pudor, con su ministro de Exteriores, limitándose a pedir proporcionalidad. ¿Proporcionalidad en un genocidio? ¿Usted es madre? Usted dígale «proporcionalidad» a una madre que ha perdido a sus hijos. Dígaselo mirándola a los ojos.

¿Cuántas personas tienen que ser asesinadas para que ustedes hagan algo de una vez? Frenen de una vez el exterminio del pueblo palestino. Hagan algo ya. Son ustedes una auténtica decepción.

Pero no nos vamos a dejar llevar por esto. Vamos a seguir exigiendo que cumplan con sus responsabilidades. Rompan el Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel ya. Apliquen todas las sanciones ya. Y, sobre todo, hagan cumplir las órdenes de detención.Mañana tienen una oportunidad de oro: el señor Netanyahu va a estar en Hungría, pisando suelo europeo. Deténganle. Queremos verle sentado en un banquillo de la Corte Penal Internacional.

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin (S&D). – Madam President, Israel continues to commit the greatest evil the world has witnessed in recent memory. Two weeks ago, we debated its use of starvation as a weapon of war. This week we witnessed the targeting of healthcare workers and rescuers in Gaza – a mass grave discovered containing 15 humanitarian workers executed one by one, buried by an Israeli bulldozer. Their crime: wearing the red crescent. And as Israel bombards Palestinians with relentless airstrikes, enforces mass evacuation orders in southern Gaza and erects new checkpoints to strangle movement in the West Bank, it blocks the very people and medical equipment who could save innocent lives.

Meanwhile, some Members of this Ϸվ dare to call for the defunding of the only agency that can still help: UNWRA. I now hear two Irish citizens, Roberta Murray and Shane O'Brien, being deported from Germany for engaging in pro-Palestinian protest. Those two protesters have more courage than most MEPs in this Ϸվ. History will hail them. History will condemn Members of this Ϸվ who have blood on their hands. End the association agreement with Israel.

Mimmo Lucano (The Left). – Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, a Gaza è in atto un massacro senza precedenti, un genocidio condotto con piena consapevolezza e il sostegno tacito dell'Occidente.

Israele viola ogni principio del diritto internazionale e umanitario, colpisce persino ospedali, scuole e rifugi, ma nessuno lo ferma; gode di un'impunità totale e vergognosa.

L'Europa è complice di questo orrore: finanzia e arma Israele, intrattiene relazioni commerciali con un governo criminale.

In Cisgiordania ogni giorno vengono rubate le terre e distrutte le case del popolo palestinese da gruppi armati di coloni protetti dall'esercito israeliano, che andrebbero definiti per quello che sono: organizzazioni terroristiche.

Questo è apartheid, pulizia etnica e colonialismo nel suo stato più brutale. La storia giudicherà severamente chi oggi tace, ma noi non possiamo rimanere in silenzio. Siamo a fianco dei palestinesi per la giustizia, per la dignità, per la libertà di un popolo che rifiuta di essere cancellato.

Marit Maij (S&D). – Madam President, I wanted to make a point of order. Well, actually, I wanted to make probably my colleague's point of order, because I think it's totally outrageous if we disagree and if we disagree, we disagree heavily – that's okay. But we should not accuse each other of antisemitism in this room.

Benedetta Scuderi (Verts/ALE). – I want to call for Rule 10(4) of the Rules of Procedure. This is inappropriate behaviour. Offending another member on no stance, just for the intervention we have done is completely unacceptable and we would like the presidency to do something about it.

Davor Ivo Stier (PPE). – Señora presidenta, he pedido la palabra justamente para referirme a lo que la señora Montero ha dicho del Estado de Israel calificándolo de Estado genocida. Me parece una acusación muy grave. Porque uno puede acusar a un individuo de los peores crímenes. Ese individuo, entonces, tiene que ser procesado y juzgado. Puede acusarse a un Gobierno de los peores crímenes. Ese Gobierno tiene que ser censurado, cambiado, tiene que pagar reparaciones. Pero, si se acusa a todo un Estado de ser genocida, es decir, por su naturaleza de ser un Estado genocida, entonces a ese Estado hay que destruirlo. Y decir que hay que destruir al Estado de Israel sí es una postura antisemita.

Por eso, cuidado cuando se utilizan este tipo de conceptos. Creo que hay que ser muy claro cuando se utiliza la crítica a lo que puede ser la política de un Gobierno o de un individuo. Está muy bien defender los derechos del pueblo palestino, pero no se puede aceptar que se diga que hay que destruir al Estado de Israel, ni siquiera de manera indirecta que se esté apoyando esa posición.

Daniel Attard (S&D). – MadamPresident, let's put things into context. Only the last plenary, our colleagues from the right wanted to strongly condemn Thailand for deporting 40 refugees and for having repressive laws. And we rightly condemned Thailand for deporting 40 refugees.

But when it comes to Gaza, where 20000 children have been killed – the equivalent of how many children we have in Maltese schools – this House loses its voice. It's not antisemitic to call out documented war crimes in 2025. This is not World WarII, but the atrocities of World WarIIhave returned in 2025. It is not antisemitic to call for the protection of aid workers and for the access of humanitarian relief.

If we cannot speak out in the face of these atrocities, then what do we even stand for in this House? And I have one piece of advice. I'm only new to this House, but let us call a spade a spade, because we have lost all our moral authority. We cannot speak on anything else if we're turning a blind eye to genocide. Indifference is complicity.

Sebastian Tynkkynen (ECR). – Madam President, why is it that even after over 500 days, the war against Hamas is still raging in Gaza? It is because Hamas has not laid down its weapons and released all of the remaining hostages. There is one thing we all have to understand about Hamas.

Hamas is not fighting against for our two-state solution. They are fighting for the destruction of Israel. Whatever means necessary, whether it is killing civilians or hiding beneath hospitals. They will not rest until all the Israelis are expelled or murdered from the river to the sea.

So we will not rest either. We will not rest until the whole world sees that the biggest obstacle to solving the conflict between Israelis and the Palestinians is the mere existence of the terrorist organisation called Hamas.

Vladimir Prebilič (Verts/ALE). – Gospa predsednica! Kako dolgo bomo mirno gledali genocid, ki se dogaja v Gazi? Kako dolgo bo Evropa, ponosna na svoje imenovane vrednote, molčala, med tem ko množično pobijamo moške, ženske in otroke?

Samo včeraj je bilo ubitih petnajst mednarodnih zdravstvenih delavcev, ljudi, ki so svoje življenje posvetili reševanju drugih. To niso bili bojevniki. To so bile medicinske sestre, zdravniki in humanitarni delavci, ki so bili zahrbtno umorjeni. In kaj je storila Evropa? Nič, samo prazne besede.

Ta ista Evropa, ki je obljubila - nikoli več, zdaj gleda, kako se bolnišnice spreminjajo v ruševine in kako se lakota uporablja kot orožje. To je popolnoma nesprejemljivo.

Zahtevamo ukrepanje, resnično ukrepanje, takojšnjo prekinitev orožja, uvedbo sankcij. In vojne zločince moramo postaviti pred sodišče.

Kajti če Evropa še naprej ne bo storila ničesar, se jo bomo spominjali samo kot sostorilko pri množičnih umorih. Zgodovina nas opazuje, svet gleda in mi ne moremo in ne smemo biti tiho.

Marc Botenga (The Left). – MadamPresident,High Representative Kallas, you speak about a balanced approach, but balanced on what? On war crimes? On genocide? On the killing of 15 humanitarian workers? On mass graves? On the killing of children?

And what would that balance be, exactly? Some nice words for the Palestinians. More weapons for Israel. Nice words for the Palestinians. Weapons for Israel. That is not balanced. That is complicity in genocide.

I mean, in the face of Russian war crimes in Ukraine, I have never heard you speak about a balanced approach. There are 40 EU sanctioned regimes and not one on Israel, which stands accused in front of international courts of genocide. The ICC asks the arrest of Netanyahu. And yet, no EU sanctions.

Stop this complicity now. Adopt sanctions. Palestinians need acts, not words. These empty words, they have not saved one single Palestinian child's life. Stop this now. Act!

Kaja Kallas, Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. – Madam President, honourable Members, I think this debate shows very well why we don't have a common agreement in the Council. I mean, this is exactly why. You heard positions from different angles, and this is the same thing we have in the Council.

But instead of focusing on what we don't agree on, we also agree on very many things. We agree on the immediate priorities: the release of hostages, immediate return to the ceasefire, as well as the resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries at scale into Gaza.

We are condemning the appalling loss of life. And it's very painful to see what is happening in Gaza. We have been condemning this all the time, and we are the ones who are supporting the Palestinians with the humanitarian aid, with the help for UNWRA, with the help for the Palestinian Authority. And when I'm talking about a balanced approach, I'm talking about a two-state solution, because right now it's not balanced. Israel and Palestine are not on an equal basis because it's not the situation.

So, we need to continue to support and encourage the role of mediators. And of course, what was also said here, we are also engaging with our Arab partners for the 'day after'. And when it comes to my meetings in Israel, I only shook hands with one minister – the foreign minister.

And my predecessor stopped the Association Council. Did it make the situation better? It didn't. So, the Association Council or the Association Agreement give us the opportunity to say all these things that you are saying here to Israelis, to the representative of Israel, because this is exactly what we did when we had the Association Council, where 27 Member States were also able to express what they think about this. And I totally agree, the humanitarian law very clearly says you can't attack civilians, you can't attack civilian infrastructure.

And when it comes to the ICC, the European Union supports the ICC and all the Member States who are members of the Rome Statute should also follow the obligations that they have taken under this Rome Statute.

And as we know, the issue we have in the Council regarding the sanctions, we have to have unanimity. It's not even a majority vote. It's unanimity. Everybody needs to be on board. And when we see what is happening with the ICC and what is happening in some Member States right now, then you can see what the difficulty is here, because it is very, very hard to see everything that is going on.

And as for the Association Agreement: if we suspend the Association Agreement, will it stop the killing?

Of course, in the mid to long term, we have supported the Palestinian Authority because it will be crucial also for the stability of the West Bank. And it is being undermined all the time. And we are the ones who are supporting them in view of the governance of Gaza, because I also agree with those Members who say that Hamas should have no role when it comes to governance of Gaza for the 'day after', because it's the question of security of Israel as well as the rights of Palestinians that need to be respected.So, therefore, we also need to engage with our Arab partners and see what more we can do within the rules that we have agreed amongst ourselves with the 27 countries with 27 different views.
