Abbas expressed his sorrow that the cabinet ignored the principles Abbas stressed in his letter of commission. |
I say to you in the name of the president that we (Palestinian factions) have no way other than dialogue. Our cause is one. |
The letter will say this decision is illegal ... The president will issue a presidential order to cancel the appointment. |
The Palestinian Authority ... worked day and night so Bethlehem could be ready for this fabulous occasion. We worked under a very difficult situation -- a lack of infrastructure and continued (Jewish) settlement activity, and the suffocation of this city. |
The Palestinian Authority rejects Israeli accusations that it is responsible for the explosion. |
There are Arab nations and other nations in the region which are working to sabotage the Israeli-Palestinian track of the peace process to prevent creation of a Palestinian state. |
We see this as a coup attempt to change the regime and they have to seriously reconsider their decisions. |
