Saeb Erekat Efforts Quotations

This delay wasn't because of disputes or anger, but because we have to maximize our efforts to revive this peace process. We should begin a process of regaining the trust between us. That's what this is about.

I think we have 3,000 more obstacles to peace and we will have, if this program is carried out, 3,000 reasons to undermine President Bush's efforts for a two-state solution.

Carving out a so-called buffer zone is tantamount to reoccupying Gaza. We are exerting maximum efforts to restore calm.

We are continuing efforts ... to try to resume the peace talks and stabilize the security situation.
