PA: Likud has no right to decide our fate
The Likud has no right to decide the fate of the Palestinian people, Palestinian Authority chief negotiator Saeb Erekat told Reuters, in the PA's first response to the Likud vote.
"It is a sad day for the Palestinians to see the Likud take seriously the idea that they can decide the fate of the Palestinian people. They have no right to nullify existing agreements," Erekat said.
The Palestinians will be the losers following the defeat of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Gaza withdrawal plan by the Likud Party, Palestinian Authority officials said Sunday evening.
"The settlers will dictate their terms," Saeb Erekat told The Jerusalem Post.
"Who is the Likud to dictate to the Palestinians their future? Who is Sharon to ignore UN Resolutions 242 and 338?" he added.
Heh. So it looks like they were starting to warm to the idea, after all.
Oh, well. No fear. Sharon has no intention of giving up.
