In pictures: Palestinian views on Mid-East ceasefire

For sure this declaration of a cease-fire is a very serious development toward lasting peace.

I believe Abu Mazen is doing a very good job. In a very short time he has achieved what Arafat couldn’t for so many years.

I cannot yet imagine an independent Palestinian state. If Israel truly wants to allow this and wants to deal with the Palestinian issue, as Ariel Sharon says, we will have one.
