In the headquarters of the EU Parliament in Strasbourg, the president of the PNA does not shirk even the most awkward questions. Do you fear you might be killed in an assault? "I am a believer explains Abbas and I am convinced that, when death must come, it will. I am not a fatalist and the security service tries to prevent attacks. But for 42 years I have been living like this, in my country people live like this every day of their lives. Parents are scared of sending their children to school". But terrorist attacks and violence against Israel asks Gianni Borsa, Sir correspondent from Strasbourg make the Palestinian cause lose credibility; does your government headed by Hamas really want to give up its violent methods and locate the terrorists, so as to set out on the way of negotiations and build peace in the Middle East? "In our land, violence has decreased by 90%. We can say the situation is cooling off. But the walk is long and requires cooperation from both parties argues Abbas Israel too keeps using violent methods and builds a wall to shut us out". We trust the positions taken by the Quartet (UN, EU, USA and Russia Editor’s note) may help release tension in the Middle East and we are sure the EU will be able to proactively help us, as it has always done".” “
