The Israelis are mistaken if they think we do not have an alternative to negotiations. By Allah I swear they are wrong. The Palestinian people are prepared to sacrifice the last boy and the last girl so that the Palestinian flag will be flown over the walls, the churches and the mosques of Jerusalem.

It will be another disaster, after Irangate. Not only that, not only this longest Arab - Israeli confrontation: but also the most important and successful war of attrition which still continues in the south of Lebanon.

Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations...

It's always convenient for certain people to heap accusations on Israel.

Still, the American administration is following blindly the Israeli advisers in your policy, while they are pushing you to more and more disasters.

I am not Mr. Chairman. I am His Excellency, the President of Palestine.
