J'lem says PA ties will be cut if Hamas brought into gov't

Israel will not deal with the Palestinian Authority if it brings Hamas into the government, a senior government official said Saturday night, a few hours after PA President Mahmoud Abbas met in Ramallah with a senior Hamas delegation for conciliation talks.
"Abbas has to choose whether he wants peace with Israel, or peace with Hamas," the official said. "He can't have both. If he chooses peace with Hamas it will bury the peace process."
