According to BNA, Israeli Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz met late Sunday with Palestinian Interior Minister Nasser Yousef, urging the Palestinian Authority (PA) to reign in militant groups such as Hamas, adding that the PA must locate those responsible for Saturday night's attack or else Israel will take action.
Their meeting was part of the latest coordination of efforts between the two sides, which Rice sought to bolster ahead of Israel's Gaza withdrawal. However, both sides appear at a standstill as Palestinians say that Israel will not disclose operational information on the evacuation to allow adequate preparations for Palestinian Authority security forces, and Israel says it will not hand over such information until the PA reels in fighters carrying out attacks on Israeli civilians.
