Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Situation in Gaza - Middle East Peace Process: Palestinian and Israeli Ambassadors

4:30 pm

H.E. Mr. Ahmad Abdelrazek:

On the Senator's point, I feel we should support the existence of a real Palestinian state. The Israelis should understand they are occupying another state's territory, not, as they claim, a disputed territory. It is not disputed. To be clear on this, it should be defined. The borders of the Palestinian and Israeli states should be defined. If, then, we are arguing this point, we believe the Israelis will be obliged to be serious about peace negotiations, as they were in respect of Jordan and Egypt.
