Israel Rejects Calls to End Isolation of Hamas
[Independent-UK] Donald Macintyre and Anne Penketh - Tzipi Livni, Israel's Foreign Minister, denounced calls for talks with Hamas by warning that "any compromise with terror, any compromise with these extremists" could undermine the new government set up in the West Bank by Mahmoud Abbas. Livni said: "I know that it looks tempting and I know that the international community is eager to see a kind of understanding between Hamas and Fatah." But she warned at a news conference with her visiting Japanese counterpart, Taro Aso: "This is wrong. This is a mistake. Big mistake. Huge."
