I tell you, frankly, we have a historical opportunity that hinges on our good performance. Today there is no room for personal agendas, |
I think every Palestinian now has his passport ready in his pocket, |
I think every Palestinian now has his passport ready in his pocket; let them come to cross at this terminal whenever they want. |
I think that we are able to put all these ideas together and finalize them soon, |
I think they are now responsible, and in order to assume responsibilities, their policies have to be compatible with international polices. |
I was and I am working on planting the culture of peace among the Palestinian people in order to pave the way for a smooth Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and to move on from there to open negotiations with Israel on the final status of the West Bank and Gaza, |
I will be able to control the chaos in Gaza. |
I'm giving the facts. They (the monitors) left at 9:20 a.m., and the Israelis came in at 9:30 a.m. How can we explain that? |
If I feel that I can't fulfill this program ... then the seat is not my ultimate ambition. |
If Mr. Sharon is facing internal problems, then I say he cannot solve one problem by creating another, ... It was the correct decision to withdraw from Gaza, and this is a good thing, and he now must continue with the peace process. |
If the preparations can be finalized, there is nothing to prevent this meeting. |
If the settlement activities in Palestinian land and construction of the so-called separation wall on confiscated Palestinian land continue, we might soon find ourselves at a situation where the foundation of peace, a free Palestine state living side by side in peace and security in Israel, is a factual impossibility. |
If there is proof that the bombers came from inside, we will deal, as usual, with the problem and meet our responsibilities fully. |
If we build this confidence together, that will lead to other important steps, |
If we want a successful meeting, we should prepare for it, ... If this is done, then there is no obstacle to holding the meeting. |
