Saturday, 9 March, 2002, 01:52 GMT Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has said that he will hold talks with the Palestinians even if hostilities continue. He made the move after more than 40 people died in violence on Friday, the worst single day in 17 months of the Palestinian uprising, or intifada. Previously, Mr. Sharon has insisted that there must be seven days of calm before talks could take place. But a BBC correspondent in Jerusalem says the Palestinians will be skeptical, thinking that Mr. Sharon is just playing for time before the US special envoy, Anthony Zinni, arrives in the region next week. A senior aide to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said that Mr. Sharon's offer had "no value". "He must stop his massacres and aggression against the Palestinian people," said Nabil Adu Rudeina. END Violence will continue in the midst of negotiations. Israel may tone down their proactive military strategy, but it will be short lived as more Palestinian suicide bombers take advantage of the Israeli pull out. It is my belief that God has intervened in this situation to prevent it from spiraling completely out of control. But I don't believe that this round of negotiations will bring peace. I heard the other day on a major news network, speaking on peace between Israel and Palestine, that the Arab world as a whole would sign a peace treaty with Israel if they will settle their differences with the Palestinian's. They also mentioned that some land concessions would have to be made as part of the agreement. Pastor Malone
