Minister: Palestinian unity show destroys chances of direct talks
None
Minister for Regional Development Silvan Shalom said that "the Palestinian unity show" put an end to thoughts of direct talks with the Palestinians: "A government with a central member calling for the destruction of the State of Israel, is not one you can talk to."
Shalom added: "We will not hold talks with a government that doesn't publicly declares its recognition of the State of Israel, repudiates terror and acknowledges previous agreements, conditions presented by the international community." (Attila Somfalvi)
