U.S. Challenges Palestinians to Explain Stance on Violence Against Israel
[AP/Guardian-UK] Anne Gearan - The U.S. challenged Palestinian leaders Monday to explain an ambiguous stance on violence against Israel in the new PA coalition's political platform. The platform refers to resistance "in all forms,'' which Israeli officials read as a coded endorsement of suicide bombings or other violence. "I'm not going to try to interpret what the right of resistance means,'' Secretary of State Rice said. "But I'll tell you it doesn't sound very good to me when one talks about 'all forms' of resistance.''
