"Such occupation is not respecting all commitments and good will gestures by the Palestinian authority and other Palestinian factions. Instead they are rewarding us with more killing and more massacres it seems that these occupiers do not want peace and they do not want a ceasefire, they do not want a calming atmosphere, I think the Palestinian people have no choice but to defy the ceasefire."

STORYLINE:
Hundreds of mourners gathered in Ramallah on Tuesday to attend the funerals of two Palestinian policemen who were killed in a gunfight in the West Bank city.
The bodies of the two men, Hussein Zubbeidi, 35, and Omar Wahdan,30, were wrapped with Palestinian flags in a military style funeral.
The two men were killed after violence erupted between Israeli troops and Palestinians in Ramallah on Monday.
Meanwhile, Hamas leader, Sheikh Hassan Yousef said that Israel's killing of 4 Hamas activists in Nablus, on Tuesday would not be forgotten.
The men were killed after a trading fire with Israeli soldiers who raided the Al Majeen area of town.
The Israeli army released a statement claiming the men were Hamas militants and that it had shut down a Hamas bomb making factory in the area.
Sheikh Hassan Yousef said that Hamas will find it almost impossible to stick to their decision to halt attacks on Israel when Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon continues incursions into Palestinian territory.
