Saudi channel 'Al-Sharq' reported from Western diplomatic sources that Britain, France and Canada have prepared a list of conditions that the PLO and Hamas must commit to as a prerequisite for recognition toward a Palestinian state. According to the report, the list comes in preparation for a conference led by Saudi Arabia and France at the UN on June 17. The countries informed Palestinian Authority officials that they must implement significant political, economic and administrative reforms, including holding free and fair elections and reviving the parliament. Regarding Hamas, it was reported that the path includes complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip and transfer of power to a government or independent local Palestinian body, and subsequently to an elected Palestinian government.
