Rice Skeptical of Palestinian Unity Government
[Washington Post] Glenn Kessler - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni reacted skeptically Wednesday to a proposed unity Palestinian government that would include Hamas, saying the militant group must first renounce terrorism and accept Israel's right to exist before restrictions on international aid can be lifted. Rice said, "It's hard to have a partner for peace if you don't accept the right of the other partner to exist. It goes without saying that it's hard to have a process for peace if you do not renounce violence."
