PNA Speaker condemns Israeli "escalation" in Gaza
Nablus, 12 May: Palestinian National Council [PNC] Speaker Salim al-Za'nun has condemned the Israeli military
escalation in the Gaza Strip. He stressed that the Israeli threats to target President Yasir Arafat and the continuing
incursions, assassinations, killing, destruction and siege are a formula to truly frustrate efforts to revive the
political process. They aim to kill the road map and confirm the hostile intentions of Sharon's government towards
our people and their leadership, despite its claims of willingness to achieve peace.
Al-Za'nun urged all world states and the Quartet committee [the UN, the EU, Russia, the USA] to shoulder their
responsibility and confront these Israeli criminal policies, which disregard international legitimacy and its related
resolutions.
