Israel Halts Talks with PA on Gaza-West Bank Convoys
(Ha'aretz) Akiva Eldar - The security-political cabinet has decided to suspend talks with the PA on operating bus convoys between Gaza and the West Bank, in the wake of Monday's terror attack in Netanya. According to an agreement brokered last month by U.S. Secretary of State Rice, bus convoys were to start next Thursday and truck convoys in mid-January. The Prime Minister's Office notified the U.S. of its decision on Tuesday. In the cabinet decision, the ministers said convoy talks would be renewed only after the PA fulfilled its obligation to act against terrorists.
