Israel: "It's All Words"
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff and Khaled Abu Toameh - The Prime Minister's Office on Sunday dismissed the PLO executive committee's endorsement of Abbas's call for an end to terrorist attacks on Israel and for immediate talks between Palestinian factions to achieve a cease-fire. A senior source in the Prime Minister's Office said, "It's all words. We are looking at their actions, not their words. The Palestinian leaders will be tested by what they do." He added that even their own military groups were not paying attention to them. Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said, "This is the moment of truth. We expect real action, not just talk. We will not talk with the Palestinians and endure terror from them at the same time." Former PA security minister Muhammad Dahlan, who is widely tipped to play a major security role in the new PA cabinet, said Sunday that Abbas has no intention of using force to disarm Palestinian groups involved in the fighting with Israel.
