Gal-on calls for anti-Hamas summit

Meretz MK Zahava Gal-on says that Israel should hold a summit with neighbors interested in weakening Hamas.

“We got off with relatively light injuries, and it could have been worse,” she tells Ynet. “We are saying the opposite – we must talk.”

“We must advance an urgent summit with all the parties that are not interested in seeing Hamas spread, which is Egypt, Jordan, and of course Abu Mazen [PA President Mahmoud Abbas] as well. We must not continue the doctrine of ‘There is no partner’ with whom to talk about peace.”
