Recent peace agreement in the Middle East and the role of the EU (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, 'They destroyed what we had inside. They demolished my house, all my memories. They took away everything that helped me live. How can I be the same as before?" Ghazal, 14 years old. Imagine that you are a Palestinian child and everything you knew has been destroyed. Then they tell you that peace has come, that there is a plan. But the world around us remains the same, occupied: i checkpoint remain; the genocidal army is in your homes; aid is controlled by those who used it to starve you; Land is confiscated and gunfire and bombs continue to make noise. Since the ceasefire began, at least eight Palestinian children have been killed by Israel. Peace cannot exist without an end to the occupation and justice for the war crimes committed. Until the State of Palestine and the self-determination of its people are recognized; As long as economic and political relations with Netanyahu continue as if nothing had happened, the word "peace" remains only a cover for "oppression." Dear EU, we have been largely absent so far, but we still have a chance to work on justice and international law: Let's implement the announced sanctions, let's suspend the trade agreements until there is a real reparation! The coexistence of two peoples without responsibility cannot exist.
