I urge the Israelis to stay out of our elections and our internal affairs, and not to put their noses in this. Our election ... will be a turning point toward political pluralism and toward maintaining law and order. |
I welcome this decision. All candidates should have freedom of movement, freedom to campaign. |
I will not give this government my confidence because the higher national interests of the Palestinian people were absent, and there were only slogans. |
I would not advise raising any expectations. Today's meeting demonstrated that there is a gap that exists between the two sides. |
I'm afraid that we will not have a peace process anymore, ... I would say 'God help Palestinians and Israelis' because to have a meaningful peace process means that we would continue where we left off. |
I'm forced to counter these dangerous remarks which push our people towards civil war. |
If he thinks that we will go back to negotiate with him over (the U.S.) package, he's mistaken. |
If I'm going to tell you how much the West Bank and Gaza needs for the next five years, I would tell you $3 billion. But I'm realistic. I know the political life of the United States, the American Congress, the Senate -- and I think we're going to aim at a very realistic number, hundreds of millions of dollars, |
If Sharon either quits political life or passes away, we call on the Israeli people to choose a new Israeli leadership, a new government that believes in peace and negotiations, but not in military operations. |
If the Israelis start interfering now with our elections, this will sabotage the democratic process in Palestine. I really urge the Israelis to keep their noses out of our elections. We've been conducting local elections, including Hamas, and this is our choice, and I hope Israel will respect our democracy. |
If the Israelis will not allow us to do elections in east Jerusalem ... it means the Israelis will sabotage the elections. I know what the Israelis have on their minds. They don't want a partner. They want unilateralism. |
If the legislative election is postponed, there will be a disaster in the Palestinian territories, where chaos and violence would prevail. |
If they go ahead (and make the road restrictions permanent) it is the official introduction of an apartheid system. This scheme ... would destroy any effort to revive a meaningful peace process. |
If they insist on keeping the settlement, they will destroy the prospect of a contiguous, viable Palestinian state. |
If they withdraw from the West Bank, and if we have the two-state solution, we can devote so many of the resources that now go to war and conflict, to reconciliation and peace. |
