I hope that we will not give the impression that Palestinian leaders will start parachuting in the West Bank and Gaza from Washington,

Arafat will have to decide this.

will be the biggest blow to President Bush's two-state solution and will sabotage any idea of a road map.

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.

This will have serious negative repercussions. We call upon the quartet [ the United States, European Union, Russia and United Nations] to exert every possible effort in order to introduce the road map for peace.

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.
