Israel to sever all links with Palestinians - World - smh.com.au:

"ISRAEL'S acting Prime Minister has declared that the Jewish state will cut all ties with the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority, brand it a hostile power, and rule out negotiations with the President, Mahmoud Abbas, as long as Hamas refuses to renounce violence and recognise Israel.
Ehud Olmert said he would ask his cabinet to approve measures recommended by his top security advisers on Sunday, capping days of escalating tensions.

European Union foreign ministers, meeting in Luxembourg yesterday, were expected to endorse a decision to cut direct aid to the Palestinian government."
