Mahmoud Abbas Government Quotations

The core issue here is that the Israeli government refuses to commit to terms of reference for the negotiations that are based on international law and United Nations resolutions, and that it frantically continues to intensify building of settlements on the territory of the State of Palestine.

Of course, I am going to ask the majority party to form the government.

lack of support for the government's policies; harsh and dangerous domestic incitement against the government and the obstruction of its functions, and unjustified accusations that the government and the prime minister had the motive of either having control over everything or nothing.

Until now, we haven't asked anyone to form the government. We are carrying on contacts with all factions, and of course we will ask the party that won the majority to form the government.

Up until now we haven't asked anyone to form a government. But we've negotiated with some of the factions and, of course, we will ask the party that has received the most votes to do so.

This government will continue until the end of the election period,

We will not allow the state of lawlessness, the disorder of weapons, taking law into one's hands, kidnapping and attacks on government institutions and state land to continue, ... No one is above the law.

There will be a procedure to present the government to parliament for discussion and approval.

All of this wasn't enough - the Zionist movement led a broad campaign of incitement against the Jews living under Nazi rule to arouse the government's hatred of them, to fuel vengeance against them and to expand the mass extermination.

The constitution gives me clear and definite authority to remove a government from power, but I don't want to use this authority. Everyone should know that by law this power is in my hands.
