Saeb Erakat Peace Quotations

If they want peace, they must know that what is happening in the Gaza Strip must happen in the West Bank and east Jerusalem,

I don't think Sharon had intended by doing this tonight to give the peace process any chance at all. Nothing justifies the targeting and the bombardment of this residential area.

Those who planned the attack in Tel Aviv, which we condemn in the strongest possible terms, had the objective of stopping and undermining the peace process, and they should not win. We should continue the process of negotiation.

These type of actions will only will lead to further violence and will hinder the chances for a peace process.

If Mr. Sharon is in the government, we all know the peace process will be over,

I'd hoped we'd go to the summit having lifted the siege, having stopped the hostilities, having had the international inquiry so we can concentrate on what kind of transition we need between this period and back to the peace process,

The least important issue today is my resignation. The real issue is the lives of Palestinians and Israelis, breaking the vicious cycle and reviving the peace process and putting it back on track.
