Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas ruled out talks with Hamas on Wednesday unless it meets conditions including previous Gaza Strip border arrangements. Abbas was in Egypt and met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, discussing the crisis on Egypt's border where Palestinians blew holes in the frontier unleashing a flood of Gazans into Rafah. "There will be no talks with Hamas unless they comply with the conditions we have put forward to back off their coup, to recognize international legitimacy and to accept new early elections,'' the Palestinian leader said after the meeting, according to the AP.
| Yesterday he was on his way to Cairo for talks with Hamas. But that was on the border, not on reconciliation. Really. Honest. |
