The international community continues to deal with Israel even though it is a state above the law.

a monitoring system so they can tell the Israelis what the Palestinians are doing and what they are not doing.

This separation wall does not separate Israelis and Palestinians. It separates Palestinians from Palestinians. It annexes 300,000 Palestinians into Israel.

will be the biggest blow to President Bush’s two-state solution and will sabotage any idea of a road map.

This court is calling upon nations not to help, not to talk, not to recognize any of the things Israel is creating by this wall,

The only thing Israel has done is accuse the Palestinian Authority of not implementing its commitments.

At the same time, it doesn’t cost President Bush anything to attack the Palestinians and to take sides with Israelis against the Palestinian Authority because of internal politics. And this can’t be acceptable.

every Palestinian guilty until proven innocent.

The Israelis would do better to attach no conditions and come back to the bargaining table.

But I want to make clear, if Israel wants peace, they know the address. It is Palestinian elected leadership — we who will make peace. We who, with Israelis, work to break this vicious cycle...

What Mr. Sharon is doing is saying to the whole world, ‘I will win.’ But … he will score victory over what?

We don’t want a meeting for the sake of the meeting. We need a meeting with substance.

We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms. Every time there is movement toward resumption of negotiations we get these attacks by the Israelis.

This is a criminal act, a political assassination and a continued Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.

We need between three to six months. I am not going to specify the periods now because we have an international committee actually involving the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan and Norway who...

Stop finger-pointing and accusing Arafat. There are more than 200 … Palestinians who were arrested because we are following up and pursuing those who planned the attacks on Israel.

It is obvious that Prime Minister [Ariel] Sharon wants to end his election campaign with more Palestinian blood and destruction. He’s turning the Gaza strip into a pile of rubble in a deliberate attempt to...

Abu Mazen (Abbas) told President Katsav that he was happy about the way disengagement had been implemented and its peaceful organisation.

The fact is Israel is seizing this opportunity now and building this wall in order to confiscate land and to create policies on the ground and to have final negotiations by dictations rather than negotiations.

I think that this is a very clear cut message that the war being waged by Israel against the Palestinians is not a war against terror, as they call it, it’s a war to maintain...

The basic ingredient for all the ails that we are witnessing there is the continuation of the Israeli occupation, and this must end, … President Arafat is determined to exert every possible effort in order...

It is a deliberate attempt to undermine the new Palestinian Cabinet and prime minister.

If Mr. Sharon is in the government, we all know the peace process will be over,

I must say that this could be preparing for something big, storming the church, destroying the church and then blaming it on Palestinians,

We want to deal as a package. This is the approach, this report cannot be fragmented. And I say again, it cannot be fragmented, no party can be selective.

The Palestinian Authority will take every possible action if it proves that those behind this attack had anything to do, or were coming from, Palestinian areas. We don’t condone the killing of civilians, either Palestinians...

If Mr. Ross comes today and he leaves like he did the last two times, we’ll be facing a disaster.

This is a significant change.

Aid from Germany, the European Union and other donor countries must continue to finance infrastructure projects in all fields.

This is clear evidence that they (Israel) are trying to destroy the election in general.

Israel must be stopped immediately. This is an all-out war against the Palestinians. We call on the international authorities to interfere immediately.

We had five days of intensive talks. It’s been tough, it’s been difficult.

I think what we are witnessing here is a Palestinian landmark,

We hope that the Israeli government will take into account that the torpedoing of the peace process, of the collapse of the peace process, will really harm not only the Palestinians, but also the Israelis...

The essential element here is not to waste time. It is also important to revive, in the minds of Palestinians and Israelis, hope in peace.

These type of actions will only will lead to further violence and will hinder the chances for a peace process.

Those who planned the attack in Tel Aviv, which we condemn in the strongest possible terms, had the objective of stopping and undermining the peace process, and they should not win. We should continue the...

These experts will work with our team as of tomorrow afternoon. President Arafat has assigned a team to follow up on all its aspects.

Arafat and the Palestinian Authority are exerting maximum effort in order to have the situation calm.

I believe tomorrow there will be Israeli bombs, Israeli shelling, Israeli shootings, Israeli siege, Israeli settlements, Israeli assassinations, and then the spokespersons will come and say the Palestinians must stop the violence.

I’m really confused after Mr. Sharon’s statement. Is he seeking a pretext for not negotiating, because he said he can’t negotiate with us without having a precondition, and then he said we must come to...

If he wants to see the future generations of Palestinians and Israelis living in peace, what are the forces doing in the West Bank and Gaza?

We have a U.S. administration that’s seeking to see the process as crisis management here and there. They’re not telling Mr. Netanyahu to stop it.

The house was damaged. The extent of the damage is not yet known. It also is not known if anyone was injured inside the house.

The problems of what is happening today is the Israeli occupation, and it’s time to start ending this occupation.

We are still waiting to hear from them.

We are asking the international community to pressure Israel to stop all violations, aggression and settlement activity,

We have to see a day without Palestinian funerals. These attacks against Palestinians … it must end. The government of Israel is dancing according to the rhythm of Israeli settlers and extremists. This must stop...

frank, difficult exchange of views.
