WASHINGTON – Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas must take steps to disarm Palestinian terror groups, American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says.

 

Rice, who spoke before the Senate's Foreign Affairs Sub-Committee today, said there will be no peace without an end to terror.

 

"The Palestinians cannot continue using violence against Israel while calling for a two-state solution," she said.

 

In addition, Rice said the United States has failed to pay sufficient attention to the emergence of democratic Palestinian institutes.
