Israel Offers Peace
The following quote is from Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s statement on Israel Television in the winter of 1994 following the murder of two members of the Lapid family, and was intended to respond to critics of Israel supplying tens of thousands of guns and ammunition to the Palestinian “police force”:
“Stop being afraid. There is no danger that these guns will be used against us. The purpose of this ammunition for the Palestinian police is to be used in their vigilant fight against the Hamas. They won’t dream of using it against us, since they know very well that if they use these guns against us once, at that moment the Oslo Accord will be annulled and the IDF will return to all the places that have been given to them. The Oslo Accord, despite what the opposition claims, is not irrevocable.”
