The outcome of the Israeli aggression in the Palestinian territories within last two weeks was 20 martyrs and more than 85 injuries. |
The position of the (Interior Ministry) general inspector was not created by the government, it had been there before the new government was formed. |
The prime minister said that dialogue was still open, even for the creation of a national unity cabinet. |
There is a state of crisis and a state of siege. There is no place for any party to sit in the audience. |
We (the government) will send a letter to the Quartet, which would convene soon, asking for their interference to try to stop building the wall, and we have earlier sent a similar letter to the UN secretary-general. We need an international pressure on Israel to force it to change its positions. |
We appreciate the Iranian backing, in particular in these difficult conditions for our people, who are undergoing a suffocating blockade. |
We are not against expanding the government and we are not against forming a national coalition. |
We do not want to rule alone (even if) we win a majority. We favor a coalition. There are many complications that would prevent us forming a government on our own at this stage. |
We expect from President Abbas to protect his government and not to make such declarations. |
We feel that some countries and organizations try to bypass the government. |
We have repeatedly made it clear that the Israeli occupation was the reason for tension and continuing circle of confrontation. |
We need more talks to settle differences in the political agenda. |
We reject the use of force or weapons against citizens or on the street. |
We want a government that is for the Palestinian people, and if we can't do that, then there are many options -- one of which is a government of technocrats. |
We want resistance to be arranged and organized. |
