Israel Minister to French Counterpart: Shun Hamas
[AP/Washington Post] Steve Weizman - Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni told visiting French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner Thursday that world governments must shun Hamas, after he disclosed that France was in touch with the Islamic militant rulers of Gaza. Referring to a suicide bombing earlier Thursday at a Gaza crossing, Livni said the bombing "should demonstrate to the international community that, while it demands that Israel take care of the situation in Gaza and open the crossing points, Hamas, which controls Gaza, is not interested in improving the lives of the population and doesn't take even minimal responsibility." "The international community must continue to delegitimize Hamas," she said.
