"For the Israeli people, to vote against the fence is to vote against our right for self-defence. This is something I believe that Europe must take to heart if it wishes to work with us to promote peace in our region. Israel believes that Europe can make a real contribution to the present opportunities, to rebuild the Palestinian authority and to promote peace in the Middle East."

15. SOUNDBITE: (English) Joschka Fischer, German Foreign Minister:
"We discussed in a very serious way the situation of the nuclear programme in Iran and it's quite clear, we think that there should be no miscalculation, and Europe is ready, especially France, UK and Germany to stay committed to the process we started in Tehran, but it's quite clear that these agreements of Tehran and Brussels must be fulfilled."
