Urgent need for a ceasefire in Lebanon and for safeguarding the UNIFIL mission in light of the recent attacks (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. I wonder how it is that Hezbollah has been able to attack Israel in the last year – the air alarm has sounded all over Israel this morning – while UNIFIL, for 18 years, has not fulfilled its mandate under Resolution 1701, which calls for disarmament and dismantling of Hezbollah. How has Hezbollah, despite the prohibition to operate at the border where Unifil i…

Escalation of violence in the Middle East and the situation in Lebanon (debate)

I'm trying to answer your question. You don't seem interested in an answer because you don't care about peace. You do not put pressure on the party that denies Israel its existence in its statutes. That is the essence of the problem. Do you want peace in the Middle East? Ensure that a democratic force is put in place in Palestine, so that there is someone to negotiate with.…

Escalation of violence in the Middle East and the situation in Lebanon (debate)

First, we do not know how many of the 40,000 are terrorists and how many are civilians because Hamas deliberately does not separate them. And secondly, it is Hamas that is responsible for the suffering of civilians in Gaza, because it is Hamas that broke the ceasefire that was in place on 6 October. ...…

Escalation of violence in the Middle East and the situation in Lebanon (debate)

Madam President, I would like to thank you for your Mr. Borell. We need to address the question of whether war can bring peace. History teaches us that sometimes it is necessary. The war going on in the Middle East is only wanted by Iran and its proxy armies, which from seven sides surround the only democracy in the region. Hamas, Hezbollah and the other like-minded people's air of life is terror,…

One year after the 7 October terrorist attacks by Hamas (debate)

Madam President, I would like to thank you for your On 7 October 2023, the world changed. There is one before and one after the worst pogrom since the Holocaust. That Hamas would be capable of the most inhumane of abuses comes as hardly a surprise. But the fact that the West would be so full of anti-Semitic terror hugs and anxious politicians and journalists is all the more surprising. Over the pa…

Signature of acts adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (Rule 81)

Madam President, I would like to thank you for your As a new parliamentarian, I am surprised and angry at the anxiety I have encountered among elected representatives here. Today is the 365th of October, and we remember the worst pogrom since the Holocaust. More than a hundred innocent people, including several young children, are still being held hostage in Gaza, and Parliament has still not adop…

Continued financial and military support to Ukraine by EU Member States (debate)

Madam President, I would like to thank you for your If we were to play with the idea that, thanks to Ukraine's sustained defence of its country and thus of Europe, we are still in the 1938 scenario, what do we and our allies need to do to prevent us from being transferred to 1939? Have we really realised the consequences for the Ukrainian people, for every small country in the vicinity of the Russ…

Persistent problems of anti-Semitism in Europe and of other forms of hate speech and hate crimes (debate)

Mr President, I would like to thank you. Many of us have wondered how the Holocaust happened. After October 7th, we'll know. The silence of many about the rapes, hostages and hate attacks against Jews. I have met Jewish mothers who feel guilty for the legacy they passed on and young people who asked Holocaust survivors about their future in Europe. If we do not want Europe's synagogues to be empty…
