Saeb Erekat صائب عريقات أبو ... Erekat warned early in the process that Oslo was fragile, and would retain public confidence only as long as it produced results on the ground. Erekat maintained that the key to the survival of the peace process was whether the U.S., the only party with significant leverage over Israel, would insist upon continuing adherence to Oslo, or turn a blind eye to the actions of an Israeli govt that did not feel bound by it. Erekat rejects the idea that time is working in favor of either party; maintaining that leaving the Middle East’s most emotive conflict unresolved is simply fueling a regional descent into chaos and extremism that will leave everyone – Israelis and Palestinians alike – in “a new dark age”. www.geocities.com /lawrenceofcyberia/palbios/pa02000.html   (6047 words)

AM - Palestinian politics going through labour pains, says Erekat SAEB EREKAT: I think the technocratic government is an option that should be pursued through the Cabinet of very highly qualified Palestinians, not affiliated with political parties, and get a result of this deep crisis that we're in. SAEB EREKAT: Well, we all want God to be on our side, we all want God's help to be on our side, but God is not going to do the job for us. SAEB EREKAT: Even the presidents and the prime ministers that I know of in the international community who think that they have God on their side do not renege on their governments and countries' obligations. www.abc.net.au /am/content/2006/s1758476.htm   (959 words)

Jerusalem Post | Breaking News from Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish World Saeb Erekat: First of all, we have full democracy now and the fact that Hamas won a majority of seats in the council doesn’t mean that there will be a change in laws or new laws introduced. Saeb Erekat: I think it’s time for us in the PA to unite — those who won and those who lost and those who ran in elections and those who did not to make sure we have one authority, under one rule of law. Saeb Erekat: According to basic law the PLO is the PA’s umbrella and constitutes the terms of reference for the PA.

Not so smart, Erekat Erekat says that "bullets will breed bullets, violence will breed violence, hate will bring hate", then he apparently understands the reason for Israel's missile attack: It is precisely what the PA and its terrorist organizations have been feverishly breeding for years. Erekat "to give the peace process a chance" is apparently synonymous with allowing terrorists to pursue their bloody trade unpunished. Erekat were truly worried about peace, he would applaud Israel's successful efforts to prepare the ground for a political solution, by eliminating a key terrorist figure. www.netanyahu.org /notsosmarer.html   (310 words)

Liar, Liar Erekat writes about the Palestinian lands seized to construct bypass roads, security zones, the security fence and so on, which together presumably make up the difference. Erekat says Israel plans to deprive Palestinians of everything but "an insignificant presence in Jerusalem." Yet at Camp David, much of east Jerusalem was theirs for the taking. Erekat urges Israelis to elect "a leadership committed to evacuating settlements" in order to "undermine Palestinian extremists and help bring an end to the horrors of the past two years." Yet that's precisely what Israelis did in 1999, which helped bring on the horrors of the past two years. www.take-a-pen.org /english/Articles/LiarLiar1.html   (1771 words)

While Erekat represented the establishment, Rai pointed to Hamas accomplishments in the town – a medical clinic and a shelter for 500 children, as well as financial aid to 300 families, all funded by donations, mostly from abroad.

'Fed up,' a top Palestinian bolts | csmonitor.com Erekat resigned last week, "fed up," he says, not just with the state of the road-map peace plan, but with the regime-change paradigm that the White House is trying to imprint upon the Palestinian Authority (PA). Indeed, the son of a man who founded a bus company, Erekat has lived most of his life here in Jericho, where he consistently wears a suit when out talking to constituents, as he did on Monday, despite the burning sun and sticky humidity that comes from living at the lowest point on earth.

Jay Nordlinger's Impromptus on National Review Online Erekat is practically the Vladimir Posner of the PLO (though Posner was nearly accentless, as you'll recall). The problem with Saeb Erekat is, unfortunately, the problem with all such figures: The tradition is to say one thing in English — to gullible Westerners — and quite another thing in Arabic, to your own. Erekat also reports that he and Clinton had a talk about why he, the former president, was blaming Arafat for the failure of the Camp David negotiations. www.nationalreview.com /impromptus/nordlinger200409140638.asp   (1964 words)
