Next to the empty chair of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Ehud Olmert chairs the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Jan. 29, 2006
Israel is adopting a tough stance toward the Islamic militant1 group Hamas, after its stunning2 election victory last week.
-----------------------------------
Acting3 Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says Israel will not deal with the Palestinian Authority unless Hamas makes some fundamental changes.
"Hamas must renounce4 terror, recognize Israel's right to exist in peace and security and annul5 its charter calling for Israel's destruction," Mr. Olmert said at the weekly Cabinet meeting. Otherwise, he said, there will be no contacts between Israel and the Palestinians.
Mr. Olmert said he delivered that message in telephone calls to the leaders of Britain, France, Egypt and Jordan, and to the U.N. secretary-general. He said these principles are acceptable to the international community, and there would be no compromise.
"Hamas is still a terrorist organization, who is still committed to the destruction of the state of Israel, and you can't really have a dialogue with someone who would like you to be erased6 off the face of the earth," said Israeli Cabinet Minister Tzahi Hanegbi.
Hamas has made it clear that it will not amend7 its charter calling for Israel's destruction and it will not disarm8. In fact, Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal said he wants to build a Palestinian army to confront Israel.
Hamas has also rejected American and European threats to cut off aid to the Palestinian Authority unless Hamas renounces9 violence. As Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh put it: "We will not give in to blackmail10."
