Avi Pazner Quotations

What has happened along the border is a very early stage amid general excitement. We can't judge Egypt's performance in such unusual conditions. We trust they will live up to their commitments.

It creates a new situation. We have to deal with it.

We are disengaging from Gaza but if they want to see the continuation of the peace process, the Palestinian Authority must take firm action... If such action is not taken, they put in danger the whole peace process.

We demand from (Palestinian leader Yasser) Arafat that he arrest immediately all the terrorists who are loose now.

We said we would give 48 hours for the ceasefire to be implemented on the ground. What we have seen is more violent incidents than before ... and the Palestinian Authority has done very little, if at all, to stop the fighting.

This is not the answer we were expecting from our declaration of a cease-fire. We stretched our hands in peace, and the response was horrifying.

This attack is particularly serious because they have penetrated an Israeli base.

This is the worst attack on Jerusalem that has ever happened.
