Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said all contacts have been halted. "In Israel, we have no desire to return to a reality of daily attacks against Israeli civilians," Regev said. "We want to send a very strong and sharp message to the Palestinians, and the temporary suspension of talks is that message." [emphasis added]
As reported now by Arutz Sheva, at least there is some substance:
Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz told London reporters Thursday that his order to ban private Arab vehicles from the road where terrorists attacked Sunday will be lifted when the killers are nabbed.
If Mofaz is relying on this threat to get the PA to cooperate and turn over the murderers, it is unlikely that the PA is going to jump and act. Then if they are not turned over plus there is external pressure that Israel should refrain from 'collective punishment,' what will Mofaz--and Israel--do then?
The PA is better at waiting out Israel and the US. Does anyone talk about the 3 Americans murdered by Palestinian terrorists--who have never been turned over?
Technorati Tag: Israel.
