European Parliament resolution on the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian Territories and the role of the EU 
B6‑0302/2006

The European Parliament,

–  having regard to its previous resolutions on the Middle East and in particular that of 2 February 2006 on the result of the Palestinian Legislative Council elections,

–  having regard to the report of the European Union Election Observation Mission in Palestine and to the report of Parliament’s election observers,

–  having regard to the statement of the Middle East Quartet issued on 9 May 2006,

–  having regard to the General Affairs Council’s conclusions on the Middle East peace process of 15 May 2006,

–  having regard to Rule 103(2) of its Rules of Procedure,

A.  whereas after the elections in Palestine and Israel the time has come to secure a new basis for a diplomatic and political initiative of the European Union and the Quartet (EU, USA, Russia, UN) which must pursue ambitious goals in order to re-launch negotiations and a process for a stable, viable peace solution,

B.  whereas there is an urgent need to face the serious deterioration of the humanitarian and social situation both in Gaza and in the West Bank in order to avoid chaos and further political instability,

C.  whereas the elections in Palestine, held in compliance with international standards, have led to the setting up of a government which is composed of members of the ‘Change and Reform’ list issued by Hamas, and whereas the international community is now confronted with respecting the result of the elections and with the possibility of exploring conditions for shaping relations with the new Palestinian government,

D.  whereas the decision of Hamas to participate in the elections and its success in them will confer on it a responsibility to comply with previous agreements signed by Palestinians, which include the rejection of terrorism and recognition of Israel’s right to exist, which is also demanded by the international community,

E.  whereas it is necessary to promote and support the development of a political environment in Palestine capable of promoting dialogue and stability and, if possible, to broaden the basis of the present government,

F.  whereas on 9 May 2006 the Quartet proposed endorsing a temporary international mechanism of limited scope and duration ensuring ‘direct aid’ to the Palestinians, and whereas this decision constitutes a positive step which could overcome the present deadlock; whereas the EU has been mandated by the Quartet to formulate a proposal for this international aid mechanism,

G.  whereas the new Israeli government has presented guidelines which include a commitment to negotiations with the Palestinians but do not exclude unilateral measures for the implementation of the ‘convergence plan’ with the aim of fixing the final borders,

H.  whereas Israel should be reminded of its obligations regarding the Oslo Agreements concerning the borders of 1967, the settlements and East Jerusalem, and must be aware of the present grave situation and assume its responsibility towards the Palestinian population,

1.  Calls on the Council and the Commission to strengthen their initiatives, taking into account the following recommendations:

   –to act within the Quartet with the aim of guaranteeing as a matter of urgency the flow of aid essential to the Palestinians (food, medical assistance, education, public services) through humanitarian agencies and NGOs and of implementing the temporary international mechanism, as proposed by the Quartet, to guarantee direct aid to the Palestinian Authority, which should be funnelled by the World Bank or other international bodies,
   –to invite the governments of the USA and the other donor countries to ensure that this mechanism has a broad and flexible scope and to facilitate it by a direct involvement of the Palestinian Authority President, and to ensure financial control and accountability of expenditure,
   –to request the Israeli government to resume immediately the direct transfer of withheld Palestinian Tax and Customs revenues (amounting to 54 Million USD per month), which have been blocked since January 2006,
   –to support the Palestinian administrations as an essential contribution to reinvigorating the institution-building process, which has witnessed an important milestone in the holding of the recent elections; also, the EU presence in Rafah for the implementation of the Agreement on Movement and Access should be continued,
   –to make a comprehensive assessment of the situation, together with the High Representative for the CFSP, to guarantee coherence in both aid measures and political and diplomatic initiatives in order to conduct a dialogue with the Palestinian Authority through its President, and to contribute to the fulfilment of the conditions required for engaging in relations with its governmental and parliamentary representatives,
   –to take full advantage of the Action Plan with the Palestinian Authority within the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy; the Commission, for its part, must guarantee the full implementation of the EU-Israel Action Plan as far as Israel’s obligations towards the Palestinian Authority are concerned;

2.  Welcomes the statement of the President of the Palestinian Authority, Abu Mazen, in its plenary on 16 May 2006 and calls on the Council and the Commission to continue to support the President in his efforts to talk with Israel, the Palestinian government and the international community;

3.  Supports the Palestinian President’s initiative to promote a national dialogue and hopes that these proposals, which result from a wider representation of Palestinian groups and leading personalities, will be accepted by all parties; considers that the President is legitimated to conduct negotiations and to take responsibility for the management of the international aid;

4.  Considers that all negotiations between the two sides, with the participation of the international community, should provide a fair and sustainable solution to the conflict and that these negotiations must be based on:

   –respect for international law and the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council,
   –a reaffirmation of the principle of rejecting violence,
   –respect, in all their parts, for the agreements already signed between Israelis and Palestinians and, in particular, for reciprocal recognition based on the principle of ‘two peoples, two states’,
   –renunciation of any strategy based on unilateral initiatives which would have the effect of prejudging final-status solutions on essential issues such as the building of the wall, the settlements, East Jerusalem, etc.,
   –fulfilment of all provisions of the Road Map, without excluding the possibility of making reference to other negotiation plans such as the ‘Beirut Plan’ of 2002, agreed by the member countries of the Arab League, and the ‘Geneva Initiative’, and with the involvement of important neighbouring countries such as Egypt and Jordan;

5.  Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the High Representative for the CFSP, the governments and parliaments of the Member States, the Palestinian Authority President, the Palestinian Legislative Council, the Knesset and the Israeli government, the governments of the USA and of the Russian Federation, and the UN Secretary General.
