Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Monday said he did not see any change in the Palestinian Authority's efforts to fight "terrorism." Progress in peace efforts, Sharon said, "depends on the Palestinians, if they will act against terror." "By now, we don't see any change," he stated.
"Myself and my government would like to move forward toward peace, but it depends on one thing, that it should be quiet and I'm really sorry to say that by now we don't see any changes," he added.
Sharon's comments came a day after five members of the Israeli Army Bedouin reconnaissance battalion were killed and six injured in the Gaza Strip when a booby-trapped tunnel blew up under an army outpost near Rafah.
