Ceasefire in Gaza - the urgent need to release the hostages, to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to pave the way for a two-state solution (debate)

Mr President! The good news is: There is finally a ceasefire in Gaza, and the first Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners are released. However, the cruel truth is that, according to negotiators, there was already the possibility of concluding a ceasefire on practically the same terms in December 2023. But this has been evaded by the US, Germany and the EU Commission. German Foreign Minister …

Toppling of the Syrian regime, its geopolitical implications and the humanitarian situation in the region (debate)

Mr President! The reports from Syria are alarming. Al-Qaeda affiliate HTS has taken power with other Islamist terrorist groups. Minorities are already being harassed and Sharia law is threatening. But Brussels is sympathetic to the redistribution of the Middle East, which is also to be enforced with the help of Islamists. This is unbearable and revealing at the same time. Finally, we are constantl…

Outcome of the UN Biodiversity Conference 2024 in Cali, Colombia (COP16) (debate)

Madam President, $20 billion a year will be spent on biodiversity protection next year. Only 2% of this amount was collected at the UN summit. The question of funding is unresolved. The EU also complains of alleged lack of money and rejects new binding funds. Instead, a fund was created for companies that profit from plant diversity. But how do you get enough money from voluntary payments? When it…

People’s Republic of China’s misinterpretation of the UN resolution 2758 and its continuous military provocations around Taiwan (debate)

Madam President, More than 50 years after the adoption of UN Resolution 2758, the previous one-China policy is to be called into question. That's insane! After Russia, do we still want a conflict with China, one of the EU's most important trading partners? The following questions were just asked by a journalist to former NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg, who, incidentally, could not answer them.…

Outcome of the Summit of the Future: transforming global governance for building peace, promoting human rights and achieving the sustainable development goals (debate)

Madam President, One of the goals of the UN Future Pact is to strengthen international diplomacy. This is urgently needed. A negotiated solution to the war in Ukraine and the Middle East is finally needed. The United Nations can and should play a central role in this. It cannot therefore be that the right-wing extremist government of Israel prohibits the UN Secretary-General from entering the coun…

War in the Gaza Strip and the situation in the Middle-East (debate)

Madam President, More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed so far by the Israeli army in Gaza, half of them women and children. But the EU Ursula von der Leyens continues to support the right-wing extremist government of Israel alongside the US and Germany. The war is justified by the fact that, after the terrible attack by Hamas, it is a fight against Islamist terror. But terror cannot be co…
