What we are looking for now is more decisive positions, more decisive actions (by the United Nations ) that hopefully would oblige Israel to go in the right direction.

We are convinced that some members of the Israeli army who committed crimes of war must be brought to trial and punished for that.

Today, 10 more martyrs have fallen in the occupied territories, two of them children under 18.

The international media somehow portray the situation as if the Israeli side is making huge concessions, going out from Gaza and not listening to what's happening in the West Bank, to what Israel has been doing.

Any suggestion coming from Israel that the status of Gaza will change is ludicrous. They are controlling the borders, the air, the water, and we need approval for the crossing points and everything else. So Gaza still remains part of the occupied Palestinian territory.

The Palestinian people under Israeli occupation are now suffocated and besieged.

We are making it clear that, for us, the central issue is actual need of cessation of settlement activities and construction of the wall.

A small victory was achieved for Palestine today, and we thank you all for that. That shall be a big victory.

Israel must stop its attempts to interfere in and sabotage these elections.
