RAMALLAH, December 31, 2005 (WAFA-PLO news agency) - President Mahmoud Abbas
affirmed Saturday that the Palestinian people will only accept a just peace
which guarantees the return of the 1967 lands, including Jerusalem.

In a televised speech on the occasion of the 41st anniversary of the
Foundation of Fateh Movement, President Abbas said the Palestinian people
has made a great achievement which is the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza
Strip and parts of the West Ban, describing the achievement as "a step
forward" that must be followed by similar steps to withdraw from the West
Bank.

"It is time to impose the authority of law and order," Abbas said "these
events .
. harm our international credibility and strengthen Israel's pretext to
undermine peace and stop withdrawals".

"The Palestinian National Authority regards chaos, anarchy and challenges to
the authority of law and order as dangers threatening the entire national
project," he added.

President Abbas greeted the late leader President Yasser Arafat and the
other martyrs who sacrificed their lives for achieving out national
aspiration.
