Two key meetings took place on Monday to discuss future relations between the international community and the newly elected Hamas party in the Palestinian territories.
The International "Quartet" met in London, while in Brussels, ministers of the European Union met to discuss the matter as well.
The EU called in Hamas to embark on the road to peace with Israel, as well as calling on the group to clarify its political positions. If Hamas agrees to pursue peace with its Israeli neighbors, the EU will continue to fund the Palestinians, according to a draft text to be reviewed on Monday.
