Environment Minister Tzachi HaNegbi says that Israel must wage total war against and “completely defeat its enemy, the PLO.”
MK Tzvi Hendel (National Union-Yisrael Beiteinu) said today that Prime Minister Sharon must dismantle the Palestinian Authority at once and order the army to re-take security control over all of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza. “If not, this government has no right to exist,” he said. Hundreds of people demonstrated and marched in Jerusalem last night, demanding that Sharon oust Arafat.
President Moshe Katzav has called on the world’s leaders to cut ties with the Palestinian Authority and its leader, Yasser Arafat, until he puts an end to anti-Israel terrorism. The President feels that Israel can restore its security only by building a wall between the PA areas and the rest of Israel.
Minister Avigdor Lieberman (National Union-Yisrael Beiteinu) said yesterday that he would quit the government if a widespread offensive against the PA were not carried out “within a short time.” Shinui Party leader MK Tommy Lapid said that Israel must call off all further negotiations with Arafat.
