The Council of Jewish Communities in Judea and Samaria (Yesha Council): \"As long as the terrorist Arafat heads the largest terrorist organization in the world, there will be no security for Israel, and he must be expelled from the region.\"
Shinui party leader MK Tommy Lapid: \"If Arafat can\'t stop the terrorism, then there\'s no point in Peres meeting with him.\"
National Religious Party head Rabbi Yitzchak Levy also says that all preparations for Peres-Arafat meeting, which have in fact been almost feverish over the past few days, be called off: \"There must be a limit to the humiliation that Israel is willing to undergo.\"
Public Security Minister Uzi Landau says that a Peres-Arafat meeting will only encourage terrorism: \"After eight years of Oslo and 11 months of intifada, the conception that dialogue with Arafat can reduce terrorism has been smashed to smithereens… Hundreds have been murdered because of this dialogue.\"
Education Minister Limor Livnat, too, said that the meeting must be called off: \"A situation in which teachers are murdered on their way to school on a major national highway is intolerable.\"
Deputy Absorption Minister Yuli Edelstein: \"Even the fathers of the Oslo process must now see that dialogue without strong military action cannot stop the terrorism.\"
