Khaled Mashaal
“Didn't the lion of Islam, the Mujahid Shaykh Osama bin Laden, may Allah protect him, offer you a truce so that you might depart from the Islamic lands? But you were obstinate and were led by arrogance to more crime and your foreign secretary, Jack Straw, said these proposals deserve to be met with contempt.”

“I say enough to the truce.”
“We agreed in Cairo on a collective truce and the retaliation, therefore, should be collective, too, because this is an Israeli carnage, the result of which must be shared by all parties.”
Mahmoud Abbas
“Even if the issues discussed transcend the confines of the text of the original truce, they cannot be construed as amendments.”
Anton Balasingham
“The aim of this escalation is purely political to oblige the Palestinians to accept an everlasting truce, accept unilateral solutions and temporary state, borders forever.”
Saeb Erekat
“I'm not sure what he's offering by way of a truce. I don't think anyone would believe him. It sounds to me like it's some kind of ploy.”
