Israel: Either Abu Mazen Acts Against Terrorism or We Will


(Jerusalem Post) Joel Leyden - Tuesday's two homicide bombings in Rosh Ha'ayin and Ariel killed Yehezkel Yekutiel, 43, and Erez Herskovitz, 18, and injured 12 others. Raanan Gissin, spokesman for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said "no cease-fire can substitute for fulfilling the commitments made by the PA for implementing the road map....We have had 10-15 terror warnings a day. Our security forces, not theirs, have prevented over 200 terror attacks from taking place during the cease-fire. It is time for Abu Mazen (Abbas) to decide who is in control of the PA - those who seek the total destruction of Israel or those who sincerely desire peace, security, and prosperity." Gissin said the government is making goodwill gestures every day. "The situation cannot and will not remain like this for much longer - either Mazen acts against terrorism or we will," he said.
