And I am impressed by the energy you have after all that has happened. And I can promise you that after the debate you've heard, we take your energy with us and we will try to create something good out of it, something good out of it for the people of Iran, to have a pathway to freedom and also... 23/06/2026 | 17:54:35 Thank you, Mister President, Ladies and gentlemen, When our Assembly elected me as rapporteur on the human rights situation in Iran back in January, I could not have foreseen the darkest of times that the Iranian people are now facing. “We no longer have the strength to fight,” a human rights activist from Iran, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of the regime, told me a week ago.

Ladies and gentlemen, Those who criticise the Knesset's majority decision in favour of a death penalty for Palestinians are absolutely right. And those who deduce from this that we must of course question Israel's observer status if the Supreme Court does not overturn this law are also absolutely right.
