Palestinians must show peace move, says Sharon
In a speech to the UN General Assembly, Mr Sharon said the Palestinians were entitled to a state of their own and that Israel was reaching out for reconciliation with them and its Arab neighbours.
He also urged the Palestinians to “eliminate terror” and the “culture of hatred” in relations with the Jewish state. “It is now the Palestinians’ turn to prove their desire for peace,” he said, following Israel’s first removal of settlements from occupied land which Palestinians want for a state.
