Ahmed Qurie Quotations

We refuse the establishment of a state only in Gaza. Gaza is part of the occupied areas. A viable Palestinian state to live in peace beside Israel is only a state set up on the 1967 borders

The Palestinians are very worried about the expansion of settlements in the West Bank, particularly around Jerusalem ... this will destroy the possibility of a viable Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza,

It is no longer acceptable to out conditions on reviving the peace process,

We will be happy to see them getting out from Gaza and northern West Bank and will prepare ourselves for their withdrawal from Jerusalem,

What is happening is very dangerous ... They are expanding the borders of Jerusalem to the Jordan Valley. Who will accept that? Who will accept swapping Gaza for Jerusalem or for the West Bank?

Be united and fight against those who will try to harm our image.

As far as we're concerned, we will organize the use of arms,

The nightmare is over, the occupation has gone and Gaza is now without settlers ... Today we begin the work of rebuilding.
