We explained the suffering of the Palestinian people, and we made it clear that we are adhering to the peace process in all its aspects, ... We especially discussed the Israeli measures against the Palestinian people. |
We face Israeli escalation. The siege has gotten worse and escalation of violence has increased. But our people are patient and willing to struggle. |
We had a very important meeting. We discussed all details of all problems, especially all points that need to be implemented. |
We had met. I had met Shimon Peres in Cairo, in Lisbon before that, before that my colleagues met him in Athens with the participation of the European Union's Javier Solana and we have no objection to meeting him at any time. |
We had some criticism from here or from there, each having their own points of view in order to put an end to the siege and to pull out the Israeli occupation forces ... but I would like to say here that I am fully responsible. |
We have discussed thoroughly the peace process from all its aspects, |
We have extremists, too, in our own camp, in our own ranks, ... Of course, there are extremists everywhere, all over the world ... Despite this we are defending ourselves against these extremists. |
We have no other alternative. And in spite of all the difficulties we are facing, we have one alternative: to carry on with the peace process. This is our strategic target. |
We have started a series of measures and we will continue with these measures, including outlawing organizations that carry out terror activities, ... We have also launched the initiative to cease-fire and this has to be respected by everybody. (If) the Israelis do not honor it and they do not want a cease-fire, it does not matter; we have to respect what we have committed ourselves to. |
We have to talk more frankly to reach solutions ... to have* this just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East, |
We hope that we will have this agreement for the implementation of what had been agreed upon very soon. |
We hope that we will have this independent Palestinian state side by side with Israeli Jewish state, Yes. |
We hope we will discuss with the prime minister the whole situation in the Middle East and the whole situation internationally, especially after what has happened with the terrorist activities, |
We live in a moment of truth. |
We must see the precise, accurate implementation of agreements signed on the basis of reciprocity. |
