EU Still on Board with Hamas Strategy
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Despite the EU's decision Monday to funnel some $143 million to the PA, Israeli Foreign Ministry officials said Israel and Europe continue to have a common Hamas strategy. Unless Hamas recognizes Israel, disavows violence, and accepts previous agreements with Israel, the EU and Israel agree that "Hamas is not a partner for dialogue or recipient of international aid," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev. The EU says funds should be halted to the PA only after Hamas forms a government and if it doesn't fundamentally change its policies.
