Mahmoud Abbas West Quotations

We need to look at the West Bank and end the occupation there,

It is an important day in our people's history in Gaza Strip and northern West Bank, where all settlements will be removed out of our lands forever,

Tomorrow (Tuesday) they will start leaving part of the West Bank.

Tomorrow they will start leaving part of the West Bank. It's a beginning of the full withdrawal from all the settlements. We will not close our eyes. We will not rest until they leave from all our land.

While we are happy the Israelis have left Gaza ... we really have no hope for the future here in the West Bank,

first step towards the liberation of the West Bank and Jerusalem.

This exit of the settlers is one of the fruits of your sacrifices. This step is only the first step that will be completed in the West Bank and in Jerusalem. But the step has come as a result of patience and sacrifices of our people, of martyrs, of wounded, of houses destroyed. All of those have brought us the fruit we are celebrating today.
