Rice: Hamas Needs to Get Strong Message from World
(Xinhua-China) U.S. Secretary of State Rice said on Tuesday: "We need to make certain that Hamas gets a very strong and consistent message from the world that until they have accepted certain requirements, they are not going to be welcomed into the international community." Rice told the House Appropriations Committee, "The great majority of responsible states, and I would say even states in the Arab world, are saying to Hamas that it cannot be business as usual as long as they do not accept the three requirements: recognize the right of Israel [to exist], renounce violence, and commit to disarmament."
