Palestinian radicals reject truce

Hamas - incensed at Abu Mazen's 'concessions'
Palestinian militant groups have pledged to continue their armed campaign against Israel, rejecting moves by the Palestinian Authority towards peace with Israel.
After a meeting in Gaza on Saturday, the groups endorsed a decision by Hamas to break off ceasefire talks with Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas - widely known as Abu Mazen.

The suspension followed Abu Mazen's promise to end the intifada at this week's Middle East summit in Aqaba in Jordan.

The Gaza meeting brought together Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Abu Mazen's own Fatah movement.

"We decided to pursue the armed intifada because we reject the conclusions of the Aqaba summit where resistance was equated with terrorism," Mohammed el-Hindi of the Islamic Jihad told AFP.

My comment:
This brings the road map to a dead end.
Abbas cannot deliver a cease-fire.
Which means the Israelis will not dismantle a single settlement, or withdraw their army.
And Bush will not put any pressure on the Israelis to do anything, in the absence of a cease-fire.
Full stop.
