The EU’s role in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and the accountability of Israel under international law (topical debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, the Israeli Foreign Minister insults Kaja Kallas, the head of European diplomacy, and four days later you run to Tel Aviv to shake hands with her, no doubt with the approval of Ursula von der Leyen. The signal sent is disastrous, and your contempt for European credibility is total. To make it absolutely ridiculous, you add that Israel is a key part…

The role of the EU in efforts for peace and stability throughout the Middle East after the announced deal between the US and Iran (debate)

Madam President, Madam Vice-President, sometimes you have to be able to say things clearly. And the truth is that the American president is back to the wall. Then he can cry out for diplomatic victory, twist reality, no one is fooled. At best, his peace agreement takes us back eleven years, with toll fees from the Strait of Hormuz as a bonus. All this for what? Thousands of dead, massive destructi…

Repression and execution of protesters, dissidents, political prisoners and religious minorities in Iran

Mr President, taking advantage of the regional chaos caused by the Israeli-American attacks, Tehran is intensifying its relentless war against its own people. Many of us are indignant. And it is normal, the terror that reigns the regime is abject. Fewer support a foreign policy that funds civil society to document human rights violations. Even fewer support a foreign policy that allows visas to be…

Mr President, I would like to return to what has just been said: this is intolerable. In fact, at the heart of the Temple of European Democracy, we have just called for the destruction of the State of Israel. I speak out all the time to denounce and express my disagreement with the Israeli government. But a call here for the destruction of Israel cannot be allowed to pass. I want it to be recorded…

For us, it’s no! It is not because it is unworthy. It is not because it is contrary to everything Europe claims to be. The hubs bac…

Brutal repression against protesters in Iran (debate)

Mr President, since 8 January, the Iranian population cut off from the world has been massacred by a theocratic regime that has been killing, torturing, violent and repressing for 50 years. But the population holds. As with the "Women Life, Freedom" movement, she doesn't let go. His courage is matched only by his thirst for freedom. But I want to warn us Europeans: Let us not be little Trumps, rea…

Madam President, yesterday, High Representative Kaja Kallas implied that the sanctions against Israel could be abandoned if the ceasefire were to hold and humanitarian aid returned to Gaza. But beware, ladies and gentlemen, there is a mistake about the goods. First of all, it's not a ceasefire.

Israel continues its ethnic cleansing. And we, what do we do? Our first minute of silence. Gazans have only one choice, exile or death. And we Europeans have contributed to this crime and are complicit and guilty. …
