Former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu says that the Oslo agreements are \"null and void, period, because of the Palestinians\' many violations.\" Speaking with Arutz-7\'s Russian-language station today, Netanyahu said that when he implemented the Hevron and Wye Agreements, \"Israel was still bound contractually to Oslo.\" He said that the present government is taking the right direction in its fight against the Palestinians, but \"pressures must be exerted directly on the PA: its facilities, headquarters, police, media, financial centers, and everything else that comprises the PA.\"
MK Chaim Ramon, a Labor party Prime Ministerial hopeful who is not a minister in the unity government, recommends that Israel respond affirmatively to the PA demand to stop all settlement construction in Judea and Samaria. \"What do we have to lose?\" he told television interviewer Don Margalit. When Margalit noted that ex-Prime Minister Barak already made major concessions to the PA, leading only to violence, Ramon said, \"Yes, but now we are already in the midst of the conflict, such that we have nothing to lose. If the violence stops, good; if not, we may we able to improve our international standing…\"
As if in response to this point, Prime Minister Sharon said earlier this afternoon, \"The previous government is largely to blame for our present difficulties, because it negotiated with the Palestinians while the violence and terror raged.\" Sharon, visiting Meiron today, said again that Israel would not conduct negotiations while any form of terrorism continues.
