Israeli Defense Chief Vows Non-Interference in Palestinian Elections
(VOA News) David Gollust - After talks Wednesday in Washington with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz says Israel will not interfere with Palestinian parliamentary elections in January, but also does not want to see radical factions like Hamas in a new parliament. Mofaz said the PA should move to dismantle armed factions before the election, and that Israel would not have any dealings with members of terrorist groups who might be elected to the parliament and become part of a Palestinian government.
