In reaction to continued clashes and the Arab summit's condemnation of Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak said Israel would have to take a "timeout" from the peace process.
Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat said he "expected this" from Barak, and indicated he had no intention of giving up his quest for Palestinian statehood.
"Our people [are] continuing the road to Jerusalem, the capital of our independent Palestinian state," Arafat said. "To accept or not to accept it, let him go to hell."
The Palestinian leader made the comment in front of television cameras and in English after arriving in Gaza from this weekend's Arab League summit in Cairo, Egypt.
At least four Palestinians died in renewed unrest Sunday, including a 14-year-old Palestinian boy was shot and killed in Gaza during a clash with Israeli soldiers at the Erez crossing, Palestinian hospital doctors said.
In the West Bank town of Hebron, two Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli soldiers.
