We seek to assure investors on the Palestinian bourse that we regard it as one of the fundamental bases of the Palestinian national economy. We will afford all the guarantees necessary to protect their investment. |
We think countries in power can decide for themselves what kinds of positions and policies they can take. |
We urge the American administration to be more rational and to avoid extremism in positions and to stop making prejudgments on a government that emerged through the ballot box. |
We urge you to understand the Palestinian reality, and not to rush in and impose conditions and demands that ignore this reality and increase the suffering of the people. |
We were elected on a different political agenda. |
We will accelerate the process of forming the next government so that we will not have to have a political and constitutional vacuum. |
We will deal with this difference in the political position through dialogue and understanding, to preserve the national unity of the Palestinian people and promote the higher interests of our people. |
We will protect the right of our people to defend themselves against the occupation. |
We will prove to the people that we are able to rebuild our homeland. |
We will resolve these matters through dialogue when we are in government. All I can say is no police officer will lose his job and no police salary will be cut. |
We will talk about several issues including the shape of the political partnership in the coming stage. |
We've handled challenges in the past and we will be able to stand up to future challenges as well. |
What happened was dangerous and must not be repeated. |
While I regret that you have not adopted what was included in the letter of appointment. I have decided not to exercise my authority under the Basic Law, and instead, out of respect for the democratic process, to enable you to take the full opportunity to assume responsibility. I will give you the chance to present your government to the legislative council for a vote of confidence. |
Whoever thinks economic pressure could push our government to succumb or that it could weaken the determination and the steadfastness of our proud people is mistaken. |
