Road Map Process to Continue Despite Homicide Bombing
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Monday's homicide bomb blast in Kfar Yavetz won't derail the diplomatic process because it happened inside the time frame Israel gave the PA to reorganize and combat terror, a senior diplomatic official said Tuesday. "The true test is one of performance, and we want to give Abbas the opportunity to perform," the official said, stating that the PA is starting to take some action. The official said Israel will not pay for the "maintenance" of the Palestinian cease-fire by releasing more or additional prisoners. He said it is absurd to expect that after the Islamic Jihad took responsibility for Monday's bombing attack, Israel would then turn around and release Islamic Jihad prisoners.
