23/04/2026 | 11:51:39 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, It is an honour for me to speak after our colleague Mr Bernard SABELLA from the Palestinian Legislative Council, because I believe the voice we just heard is a voice of someone who devoted and devotes his entire life to building peace and a better future for everyone in the Middle East. And this while so many in the Middle East want all of us to believe that there is not a good path to a future for the people. Hamas, Hezbollah and far-right... 22/04/2026 | 17:57:27 Thank you, Madam President. Ladies and gentlemen, Those who criticise the Knesset's majority decision in favour of a death penalty for Palestinians are absolutely right.

The Irish struggle for independence or the British war effort in the Second World War are then brought up. But this debate about ourselves does not do justice to the terrible situation for the hostages in the Hamas tunnels, for the innocent children in Gaza, for the people who... 30/09/2025 | 17:58:07 So, colleagues, this really is now a very serious amendment because I am so happy that we, as the Parliamentary Assembly, we are committed to expanding our relations with Kazakhstan.
