[Ha'aretz] Moti Bassok - Vice Premier Shimon Peres told British Secretary of State for International Development Hilary Benn on Wednesday that Israel will transfer tax revenue collected for the PA only once it is confident the money will not be used to finance terror against Israel. Peres said Hamas continues to give millions of dollars to terror organizations instead of providing food and medicine for the Palestinian people. It is now clear to the entire world that Hamas prefers terror and war to dialogue, recognition of Israel, and peace, he said. Peres said he expects Britain to act alongside the international community in a clear and resolute manner against Hamas, Hizballah, and Iran, and prevent them from establishing a fundamentalist hegemony in the region.
