Arafat Says Sharon Shows No Commitment To Roadmap


"PM Sharon Is Not Willing to Put the "RoadMap" into Force" President Yaser Arafat Says.

Ramallah -- President Yaser Arafat said: " The speech of the Israeli Prime Minister Sharon delivered yesterday, undoubtedly affirms that he is not willing to implement the "roadmap".

After planting an olive tree on the occasion of the incoming tree feast, President Yaser Arafat also stated to journalists in his compound in Ramallah Palestinian city that Sharon's speech affirms what we have reiterated over the past days that Sharon is not willing to implement the" roadmap" (peace plan) since he mentioned that he has four teen reservations on the roadmap.

" Sharon does not want to reach peace, instead he wants to continue the construction of the apartheid separation wall, meaning that the Israelis will continue their military operations in the Palestinian occupied territories. The removal of one or two Israeli-inhabited caravans hither and thither by Sharon is a complete deception as he will put instead other tin or twenty caravans in some other places" President Arafat added.
