Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Palestinian PM Calls For Cease-Fire

HeadlineNov 12, 2003

In Ramallah, Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia today called for an immediate and comprehensive cease-fire with Israel. He also called for the resumption of negotiations over President Bush’s road map to peace. Qureia said, “To the Israelis, we want peace and security and independence that will not be realized unless we work together. Let’s help each other stop this cycle of hell.” Qureia’s call came during a parliamentary session during which he also criticized the construction in the West Bank of an Israeli wall which he referred to as a Berlin wall and an apartheid wall.
