Saeb Erakat Israelis Quotations

We demanded from the Israelis to move their forces outside the area of friction, at the entrances of our towns, villages and refugee camps -- to no avail,

I urge the Israelis to understand that we need to continue talking. I also urge the good office of President Bush to exert every possible effort to resume the contacts.

President Clinton said he will give the same chance to the Israelis to pose their reservations and qualifications and then he will get in touch with us ... We will wait and see what Mr. Ross carries with him before we jump to conclusions.

The Israelis would do better to attach no conditions and come back to the bargaining table.

I hope that Mr. Gold and Mr. Sharon will stop this broken record, assigning blame. Finger pointing will not save the lives of Israelis and Palestinians.

I know students who come to my office who are supposed to go to Amman or America in their fifth year or sixth year ... , ... The Israelis are telling them, 'You're not going to be allowed to leave unless you accept to collaborate with us.'

Instead of saying unilateral separation, unilateral fences, I tell the Israelis we need to establish good fences between us, because good fences make good neighbors.

If he wants to see the future generations of Palestinians and Israelis living in peace, what are the forces doing in the West Bank and Gaza?

a monitoring system so they can tell the Israelis what the Palestinians are doing and what they are not doing.
