Meanwhile in Sunday's cabinet meeting, the Israeli PM declared the Hebron agreement as “null and void… and has no significance.” Sharon has already announced the Oslo Accords signed in 1993 dead and has been acting accordingly ever since.
The presence of the settlers in Hebron was negotiated in 1997 in a deal struck between Palestinian President Yasser Arafat and Netanyahu. Now serving as Foreign Minister, Netanyahu sees the agreement as null.
No Massacre Committed in Friday’s Attack
As Netanyahu misled public opinion about the facts of the Friday evening battle, when he labeled it “a massacre” of Jewish worshipers, Sharon interrupted him and said, “I’m very sorry, but we have to be credible. Soldiers fell in battle, and there was no massacre.”
According to Ha’aretz, Netanyahu reiterated his routine call for expelling the Palestinian President came up in Sunday’s cabinet meeting. He also called on the government to reoccupy all Palestinian territory and “cleanse it”, and then withdrawing upon the completion of the separation fence. Israel’s Foreign Minister nonetheless continued to say that Jewish worshipers were the target of Friday’s attack, despite statements from Israeli settlers and soldiers that no worshipers were killed or injured, and that all the people who had gone to the tomb to pray had returned to “Kiryat Arba” settlement by the time of the attack.
