  Preşedinte. – Înainte de votarea amendamentului 1.

  Martina Anderson (GUE/NGL). – Mr President, (start of speech inaudible as microphone not switched on) ... the Members for this late intervention. There is intense negotiation. But I am going to ask if you would please consider doing a roll-call vote on Amendment 1. I want to alert Members that this amendment from the ECR Group is a very dangerous one. It talks about two states for two peoples. It is effectively ethnic cleansing.

I want to remind Members that 20% of the citizens of Israel are Arab Israeli citizens. I just want to alert Members to this. If we cannot have a roll-call vote, at least Members would know. We should not damage the reputation of this Parliament, and Members should vote against it.

Preşedinte. – Amendamentul 1 nu a fost reținut, deoarece în acest moment nu se pot accepta solicitări de acest gen.
