I want us to be assured when those local government elections are held that the KSAC will return to the control of the People's National Party, and that means that we will have to do some serious work in every division.

We are in favor of elections and we are in favor of toppling the government but we will not join the extreme right in toppling the government over the peace process, ... We don't want to punish the government for the pullout from Gaza and I don't think we should hitch a ride on the extreme Right.

The entire world has an interest in us having a peaceful and pleasant experience in World Cup 2007.

I think in the near future and all the way through the 2007/08 elections, the government will not take more suggestions from the pro-democracy camp since they obviously failed at the negotiations last time. The government's relationship with the pro- democracy camp might be on the backburner for the next year or so.

We will have elections in Jerusalem and you will not be able to stop us.

What I expect to happen is that the US will be very cautious in pushing for elections as soon as possible and particularly national level elections because it was quite clear that if democracy calls, the Islamists answer.
