Israel Severs Ties with Abbas After Bombing
By Corinne Heller
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites) will refuse to meet Mahmoud Abbas until the new Palestinian leader moves against militant groups behind an attack that killed six Israelis in Gaza, Sharon's spokesman said on Friday.
Israel is severing all planned contacts with the Palestinians on all levels, from security to government leadership," spokesman Assaf Shariv said, a day after the assault that defied Abbas's calls for non-violence.
"Everything is canceled until they take steps against terror, so we can see there is not only talk but also action. Abbas knows who carried out the attack, so he will be the one to stop them. It's very easy," he said.
