It’s clear Israel has suspended the peace process, despite the so-called moderation of the Arab world, because it has no interest in peace.

We accepted the (U.S.) initiative, trying to be helpful in getting the peace process back on track. We are not willing in any way to renegotiate the initiative … I think the clock is ticking...

It seems to me as usual they are looking at the wrong address. They should look closer at home. I don’t think the Sharon policy of attempting to besiege a whole people … is a...

a decisively negative impact.

Sharon has subverted the whole process by turning it into something sequential and conditional and, of course, by making himself the interpreter of the road map,

We cannot superimpose on any conflict very simple, borrowed and ready-made solutions … The Americans constructed a simplistic paradigm for our peace process. And they expected everybody to think like Americans, to behave like Americans.

It’s very clear, that while they want to shell and pound and kill and destroy Palestinian people and their institutions with total impunity, that [while] putting enormous pressure on the Palestinians, on their victims, to...

You can’t simply redefine Jerusalem. The Palestinian claim is based on legality, on the international recognition that the situation created by the war in ’67 is not valid.

These weren’t pre-emptive moves. If we wanted to do that, we would have taken steps on other measures dealing with security or dissolving the parliament.

It’s very clear that Mr. Barak’s intentions all along have been to undermine the peace process, to evade it, to avoid it,

We can’t allow a group or a handful of armed groups or militias to threaten the holding of elections in a fair and free environment. We can’t allow them to hijack the electoral process.
