‘We have agreed with the prime minister to cease all acts of violence against Israelis and against Palestinians wherever they are,’ Abbas said in his statement.
Sharon confirmed the agreement saying: ‘Israel will cease its military operations against the Palestinians in all areas.’
Sharon also confirmed that Israel would release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and said he would discuss further releases with the Palestinians.”
