Rice, during meeting with President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank
city of Ramallah.

The PFLP stated that Rice "acquitted the leaders of Israel and the
commanders of its army from the crimes they are committing against
the Palestinians people, while the Israeli army is using US-donated
fighter-jets and shells". The spokesperson said that the US is
misleading the international community and is ongoing with its
support to Israel and its occupation to Palestine.

He added that the US is acting in order to divide the Palestinians
people into "good and bad groups" in order to obstruct any efforts
that aim at uniting the Palestinians.

The spokesperson called on the Palestinian leadership not to
surrender to US pressures to resume "the mirage of peace talks with
Israel under false US promises and delusions".
The PLFP stated that the Palestinian people need to be united now
more than ever in order to counter the Israeli and American plans to
keep them separated in order to protect the occupation and its
policies in Palestine.

Also on Tuesday, Sami Abu Zuhri, the Hamas movement spokesperson,
stated that Rice's statement which accuses Hamas of escalating the
violence as fiving a green light to Israel to continue its attacks
against the Palestinian people, the resistance and Hamas movement.
Abu Zuhri added that the comments were made by Rice to sway world
opinion and to cover up Bush's crimes, because according to Abu
Zuhri, Bush gave his blessing for the attacks on Gaza during his
visit to the region on January.

The Hamas official asked Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas not to
listen to Rice regarding resuming talks with Israel. Halting talks
with Israel is a natural and much needed response to the Israeli
attacks on Gaza Abu Zuhri added.

During her visit, Rice failed to condemn the recent Israeli attacks
against the Gaza Strip which started on Wednesday and continued
through Monday . During the military assault, 120 Palestinians were
killed and over 300 were injured, a large number of the casualties
including women and children.
