Saeb Erekat Talks Quotations

Refugees, Jerusalem, borders, Jewish settlements and water are issues reserved to the final-status talks between the two sides and nothing should pre-empt or pre-judge the outcome of the final status talks before they begin.

We invite Mr. Sharon to resume final-status talks so we can reach the end game.

We had in-depth discussions and very serious talks on all issues. There were no results. The differences and obstacles are still there.

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

We want to agree on preparations to resume final-status talks which should commence in the middle of next month.
