Mr President, Baroness Ashton, on 23 September, the very day when Mahmoud Abbas filed his application to the UN, the Quartet was drafting a press release establishing a road map with an important deadline, 26 January. On 26 January, the two parties had to define their positions on security and borders, which were supposed to form the basis for these negotiations. Everyone welcomed this initiative from the Quartet. However, when 26 January came, nothing happened. One party – the Palestinians – had presented its position but the Israelis had not done so.
Baroness Ashton, the question that I am going to ask you is like the one in Nadine Labaki’s film, ‘Where do we go now?’
