Jerusalem, 1 December 1998
PM'S SPOKESMAN: RESPONSE TO REMARKS MADE BY ABU ALA
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Spokesman)
In response to remarks made by Abu Ala on Radio Palestine calling on
Palestinians to fight settlers physically and his protest concerning the
non-release of security prisoners, Prime Minister's Spokesman Aviv
Bushinsky today (Tuesday) 1.12.98 issued the following statement: The
Prime Minister will not tolerate threats of violence -- not on any Israeli
citizens, and not on the residents of Judea and Samaria. Statements of
this kind are a violation of the agreement. The Prime Minister also
suggested that the leaders of the PA refresh their memories by reading the
Wye River Memorandum, according to which it is Israel which will determine
the categories to which freed Palestinian prisoners belong. The Prime
Minister will under no circumstances free Hamas prisoners, or prisoners
with blood on their hands.
