Ghassan Khatib Israeli Quotations

President Arafat is in control, but President Arafat is not trying and has no interest in stopping the peaceful Palestinian protests against the Israeli occupation. He believes that this is useful because his public is angry and frustrated.

We believe that the Palestinian leadership should be treated by the Israeli government like they treat other Arab governments.

This is not news, ... This Israeli government is about consolidating the occupation. This Israeli government is about the expansion of settlements. So it doesn't come as a surprise at all. This is what we expect them to say.

can understand why Israeli officials are nervous ... because, if this is going to be successful, then the Israelis will be faced from their side with having to fulfill their obligations from the road map.
