Cease-Fire Agreement in Doubt
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Sources in the Israeli defense establishment have expressed doubts with regard to the possibility of reaching a cease-fire (hudna) agreement in light of fierce opposition to such a move on the part of some of the terror groups. In a meeting Sunday with visiting Jordanian Foreign Minister Hani Mulki, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said that the PA had to close the gap between Abbas' statements and the events in the field. Mofaz said the PA was taking a point-by-point rather than a deep-rooted approach to dealing with terror, and warned that further attacks would halt political progress. Mofaz also stressed the role of Hizballah in directing terror activists in the territories.
