The Road Map stipulates that the Palestinian Arabs are required to undertake concrete steps to combat terrorist groups and democratize Palestinian Arab society. Those obligations, which are quoted below, were supposed to have been fulfilled during Phase 1 of the Road Map, which concluded at the end of May 2003, but they were not.

This report analyzes Palestinian Arab violations of those obligations during the 11th week following the unveiling of the Road Map plan, July 8 - July 14, 2003.


I. "Cease All Violence"

What They Are Required to Do: The Road Map states: "In Phase 1 [May 2003], the Palestinians immediately undertake an unconditional cessation of violence." They did not do so. On June 29, 2003, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Fatah issued statements saying that they would suspend attacks on Israelis for a period of 90 days if Israel ceases all counter-terror operations and releases all imprisoned terrorists.

What They Did During Week #11: During week #11, July 8 - July 14, 2003, there were at least 17 terrorist attacks, in which one person was murdered and two wounded. (During the first 11 weeks since Abu Mazen became prime minister and the Road Map was published, there have been a total of 321 Palestinian Arab terrorist attacks or attempted attacks, in which 51 people were murdered and 317 wounded.)

July 8: Shooting attack on workers near Kalkilya ... Shooting attack on Israeli motorists near Jenin ... Terrorist intercepted on his way to an attack near Carmel.

July 9: Shooting attack on Israeli soldiers in Samaria ... Firebomb attack on Israeli soldiers in Kedumim ... Arson attack on homes in Kadim.

July 10: Shooting attack on Israeli soldiers northeast of Shechem (Nablus).

July 11: Stabbing attack on an Israeli in Karnei Shomron.

July 12: An Israeli taxi driver was kidnapped near Jerusalem.

July 13: Shooting attack on Israeli soldiers in Rafiah ... Grenade attack on Israeli soldiers in Netzarim ... Attack on Israeli motorists near Yitzhar ... Attack on Israeli motorists near Itamar.

July 14: Stabbing attack at the Tel Aviv beachfront; one person murdered, two wounded ... Shooting attack on Israeli soldiers in Shechem (Nablus) ... Shooting attack on Israeli soldiers in Kadim ... Shooting attack on an Israeli Army outpost near Neve Dekalim.


II. "Call for Recognizing Israel and Ending Violence"

What They Are Required to Do: The Road Map obligates the Palestinian Arabs to "issue an unequivocal statement reiterating Israel's right to exist in peace and security and calling for an immediate and unconditional cease-fire to end armed activity and all acts of violence against Israelis anywhere."

What They Did During Week #11: No such statement was issued. On June 4, speaking at the Aqaba summit, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) did say "we repeat our renunciation of terrorism against the Israelis wherever they might be." But PA Minister of Information Nabil Amr said (Doha Al-Jazira Television, June 14, 2003): "As regards the word 'terrorism', I do not know why when the Palestinians denounce the word terrorism, certain people think that this means resistance. There is no text anywhere that says that the Palestinian people's resistance is terrorism, which we denounce...Yes, we denounce terrorism. Anyone who says that denouncing terrorism means denouncing resistance is doing an injustice to legitimate resistance and is in effect labeling it with terrorism."
