Tayeb Rahim Quotations

The Palestinian Authority ... worked day and night so Bethlehem could be ready for this fabulous occasion. We worked under a very difficult situation -- a lack of infrastructure and continued (Jewish) settlement activity, and the suffocation of this city.

The Palestinian Authority rejects Israeli accusations that it is responsible for the explosion.

I say to you in the name of the president that we (Palestinian factions) have no way other than dialogue. Our cause is one.

There are Arab nations and other nations in the region which are working to sabotage the Israeli-Palestinian track of the peace process to prevent creation of a Palestinian state.

We see this as a coup attempt to change the regime and they have to seriously reconsider their decisions.

Abbas expressed his sorrow that the cabinet ignored the principles Abbas stressed in his letter of commission.

The letter will say this decision is illegal ... The president will issue a presidential order to cancel the appointment.
