White House Condemns "Homicide" Attacks
(White House) - Ari Fleischer It's important to recognize that Israel has been repeatedly hit now by suicide homicide bombings. The message, as the President unequivocally carried it today, is that the peace process begins best with the actions by Palestinian authorities to crack down on those who would derail the peace. Clearly peace-loving Palestinians have an interest not only so that the negotiations with Israel can be fruitful, but also for the good of the lives of the Palestinian people, to make sure that there are not terrorists who live among themselves in the Palestinian areas who would carry out these homicide attacks in Israel. It is the obligation, under Oslo and under the road map, for the Palestinians to crack down on those who engage in acts of terror.
