"The release of Palestinian prisoners earlier this week was an important sign of Israel's respect for past agreements and its willingness to take into account Palestinian needs."

"I am grieved and outraged by the callous killing of a British soldier in Northern Ireland yesterday."

"I urge all those taking part, who share a commitment to democratic values, to move as rapidly as possible into substantive negotiation about the future of Northern Ireland."

"It was a brave and wise thing to do."
