Notice the change in tone ...Representatives of the new Palestinian unity government have said they will reject the Middle East Quartet's offer to reinstate direct aid in return for a renunciation of violence and recognition of Israel.
The Quartet's statement "reflects an evolution of its positions, (but) this remains insufficient," Nabil Abu Rudeina, a spokesman the Palestinian presidency, said on Thursday.
"We have to work immediately toward the application of the roadmap and the Arab peace initiative."On Wednesday the Quartet - which brings together the European Union, Russia, the United Nations and the United States - reaffirmed that the new Palestinian coalition must renounce violence, recognise Israel and accept past peace deals.
