Sharon And Abbas Agree To End 'All Acts Of Violence'
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, Feb. 8 (Xinhuanet) -- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Tuesday declares to halt military action against the Palestinians after he agreed with Palestinian presidentMahmoud Abbas to a mutual ceasefire.
"During talks with Abbas, we agreed to stop over four years of violence. Israel will cease its military activities against all Palestinians anywhere," Sharon said at the close of the one-day summit in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
"Today we are moving toward goal of peaceful, dignified, quiet lives for all nations in the Middle East," Sharon said in a statement, while Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, Jordanian King Abdullah II and Abbas were listening to.
"We hope that today we are starting a new period of hope," he added.
"I assure you that we have a genuine intention to respect your right to live independently and in dignity. Israel has no desire tocontinue to govern over you and control your fate," Sharon said, referring to the roadmap peace plan or a two-state solution to the conflict accepted by both the Palestinians and Israel.
He also urged all parties concerned not to allow violence to sabotage the new opportunity for achieving just and comprehensive peace.
"We in Israel have to painfully wake up from our dreams, and we're determined to overcome all the obstacles which might stand inour path in order to realize the new chance which we have created,"said Sharon. Enditem

Hamas says not bound by Palestinian ceasefire
Radical movement spokesman says there will not be real truce with Israel without real reciprocity.
GAZA CITY - Palestinian Islamist militant movement Hamas said Tuesday that it was not bound by the ceasefire announced by Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas at a Middle East peace summit in Egypt.
Abbas's declaration "expresses only the position of the Palestinian Authority. It does not express the position of the Palestinian movements," said Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri.
In Beirut, Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdaneh said the ceasefire pledge "does not commit the Palestinian resistance."
Hamas, which has been behind many of the deadliest anti-Israeli attacks during the four-year Palestinian uprising, and other armed groups have nevertheless agreed to a temporary "cooling down" period.
At the summit in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon agreed to ceasefires aimed at ending the deadly violence and paving the way for a revival of the Middle East peace process.
But Masri said the Palestinians should have been consulted before any such announcement.
"Hamas is maintaining its position. There will not be a real truce with Israel without real reciprocity," he said.
"We will act on the truce depending on the commitment by the Zionist enemy to meet our conditions, starting with all Palestinian prisoners."
Sharon announced at the summit that hundreds of Palestinian detainees would be released from Israeli jails, after a tentative agreement between negotiators for the release of some 900 prisoners.
Clearly what's will happen next is a PA offensive against Hamas and other terrorist groups, disarming them so they're no longer a threat to the region.
Ping!
"We will act on the truce depending on the commitment by the Zionist enemy to meet our conditions, starting with all Palestinian prisoners."
Please read the following post with a extra large dose of heavy sarcasm...
With statements like this how can you not be optimistic?
Hizbollah will not adhere to it either
I love your sense of humor.
Has Hamas released those ransomed body parts yet?
One would like to think so. That's what it took to stop the violence in Ireland after the establishment of the Irish Free State. I guess we'll see if the same thing happens in Palestine.
BWA-HA-HA! I give it a couple of months, tops
Continuing with today's stories on the Duh News Channel, the sky is blue and bears prefer to sh!t in the woods.
"We will act on the truce depending on the commitment by the Zionist enemy to meet our conditions, starting with all Palestinian prisoners."
..... Hizbollah will not adhere to it either
So, very soon H & H will see to it that this charade is over and then even State may understand that to fight and win the WOT all dragons, without exception, must be slain.
(Or maybe I'm way too optimistic about Foggy Bottom...)
It`s a 'Hudna'.Been done before,only a respite for the terrorists to regroup and regain strength.There will be no peace.The PLO charter to destroy Isreal was never revoked.
The tribe of Judah shall never be vanquished.The islamofascists will,in the end,lose.
A truce with the nation of Palestine...However, the Palestinian military will not participate in the truce...
Sounds like someone is holding Sharon's family hostage...What rational person could agree to something like this???
The terrorist on the right, odds are he was trained and armed by the CIA.
Abbas reiterated his support for both the PLO Charter and the Phased Plan during the campaign. He's made no secret of his objectives.
Because he is not aiming his weapon at a tender spot of his companion???
No problem...Israel is not bound to included Hamas in IT'S ceasefire.
No, because all the snipers in the PA police (day job-terrorists) were trained by the CIA. I said odds are because a small number of gunmen were thought to have come into the West Bank from Afghanistan.
So the obvious is true to those who pay attention.
It is a war to the end.One side must be wiped off the face of the earth.
Does anyone expect the tribe of Judah and the other 11 tribes to lose.
