US, Israel Warn Abbas Against Hamas Deal

HeadlineSep 19, 2006

The US and Israel are warning Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas against finalizing a deal for a unity government with Hamas. Abbas reached an agreement with Hamas last week and is now working out the final details. But in separate talks Monday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice andi Israel Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni told Abbas they would not accept the Palestinian government unless Hamas renounces terror and recognizes Israel’s right to exist. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council has agreed to hold a session Thursday on a four-year old offer from the Arab league that calls for full peace with Israel in return for an Israeli withdrawal from all occupied territories. Both the US and Israel oppose the proposal.
