Return of Ukrainian children forcibly transferred and deported by Russia

Madam President, thank you very much. Russia's war in Ukraine is not just about imperialist ambitions of great power, about claims to a world order in which military force trumps international law. It is equally about destroying the identity, culture and language of Ukrainians, depriving them not only of the future but also of history. By kidnapping tens of thousands of children in order to russif…

Mr President, thank you very much. Citizenship is a privilege that binds. This is the opposite of a commodity.

Mr President, thank you very much. There was a time when many hoped that Turkey would come closer to Europe – our values, our respect for the rule of law and our respect for human rights.

An urgent assessment of the applicability of the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement (PDCA) with Cuba (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. The humanitarian situation in communist-controlled Cuba is appalling and deteriorating. Through the cooperation agreement between the EU and the Cuban regime, we are giving de facto legitimacy to a brutal dictatorship that cracks down on freedom of expression, imprisons dissidents and denies fundamental freedoms to its people. Even when the agreement was concl…

Madam President, thank you very much. The use of human beings as ammunition in the hybrid warfare of dictatorships is the definition of anti-humanism. Just look at how Putin tricked, lured and pushed migrants against the EU's borders. The solution to these cynical attacks is not to open the borders. Europe cannot continue to accept economic migrants to the extent that we have. I therefore welcome,…

Deteriorating situation in Gaza following the non-extension of the ceasefire (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. The situation in Gaza is deteriorating every day that the ceasefire is not extended. But why hasn't it been extended? Why is Hamas still holding 59 innocent people, most of whom are likely dead, hostage?

Madam President, I would like to thank you for your Imagine that an international court like the ICC had issued an arrest warrant after 9/11 against both Bush and bin Laden. It is just so absurd that the ICC, through its arrest warrant, effectively equates Hamas's monstrous attack with Israel's defence. It is provocative and wrong in substance.

Yes, the point here is that this is a conflict with long roots, and it gets worse every time Israel is forced to negotiate with all sorts of terrorists.
