"Their most ridiculous accusation is that we have abandoned the settlers. Tle Oslo Accord was delayed for three months to guarantee that all the settlements would remain intact and that the settlers would have maximal security. This entailed making an immense financial investment in them. The situation in the settlements has never been better than that created following the Oslo Accord.
