Israeli Officials Refuse to Meet Sinn Fein Head
[Jerusalem Post] Amir Mizroch and Hilary Leila Krieger - Israeli government officials will refuse to meet Gerry Adams, leader of the IRA-linked Sinn Fein party, when he arrives Tuesday at the invitation of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, because Adams was also meeting with Hamas members. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev confirmed that "foreign visitors who are going to meet with Hamas officials don't get meetings on our side." Regev reiterated Israel's position that Hamas must renounce violence, disarm, and adhere to past agreements between Israel and the PA.
