Palestinian PM Calls For Cease-Fire

HeadlineNov 12, 2003

In Ramallah, Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia today called for an immediate and comprehensive cease-fire with Israel. He also called for the resumption of negotiations over President Bush’s road map to peace. Qureia said, “To the Israelis, we want peace and security and independence that will not be realized unless we work together. Let’s help each other stop this cycle of hell.” Qureia’s call came during a parliamentary session during which he also criticized the construction in the West Bank of an Israeli wall which he referred to as a Berlin wall and an apartheid wall.
