Wait and See What We will do for Peace

Gul also offered some strategies to the leadging candidate in the presidential elections in Palestine on Sunday. Abu Mazen apologized to Gul by telephone for delaying a meeting with Gul due to election activities on Wednesday (January 5). Gul reportedly responded by telling Abu Mazen: "I participated in elections five times. Relax and come after you have finished your work." Gul described his visits to Israel and Palestine by saying: " Palestine will get the rockets under control, and Israel will stop political assassinations. We have discussed this with both Abbas and Sharon." About his one and a half hour meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Sharon, Gul said: "We should ask which foreign minister Sharon has had such a meeting with so far. If I disclose what we talked about, you might turn them into headlines in Turkey, but everything would certainly stop then. Never forget that the US Secretaries of State and Defense Secretaries came to this region to address this issue 20 times. These things require patience."
