Address by Foreign Minister Peres to the UN General Assembly - September 18, 2002
(Ministry of Foreign Affairs) - We cannot allow dark forces to possess weapons of mass destruction, aware of their whim to destroy the life of innocent people. We don't have the right to ignore the danger. Terror is condemned to lose. It will be defeated because it carries no hope. It respects no human being, nor the values of humanity. We offered the Palestinians a comprehensive solution without the terror. A solution that was close to their national aspirations. We related to their desire to be free, to be equal, independent. Terror postponed their destiny. We are following the profound debate taking place in the Palestinian midst. We respect it. Debate is the beginning of democracy. When democracy will prevail, peace will arrive undoubtedly.
