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.

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

Peace and security will not be derived through walls and through incursions and through assassination. It will only be attained through a meaningful peace process that will end the Israeli occupation and establish a Palestinian state next to the state of Israel.

What we need to do is to see an immediate implementation of the Mitchell recommendations. But above anything else ... we need the Israeli government to join us at the negotiating table.

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,

Unfortunately we should not expect much out of this summit.
