Bolton: Palestinian Foreign Minister Off to Bad Start for Slandering U.S.
(Reuters/Washington Post) Irwin Arieff - The new Palestinian foreign minister, Hamas member Mahmoud al-Zahar, got off to a bad start by slandering the U.S., UN Ambassador John Bolton said on Thursday. Zahar said America was committing "big crimes" against Arab and Islamic countries. Bolton said Washington had decided to redefine the duties of Maj.-Gen. Keith Dayton, who was appointed last November to oversee Israeli-Palestinian security coordination efforts. Dayton was asked to end all contact with Palestinian security forces reporting to any member of the Hamas cabinet.
