Canada cuts off aid as Hamas takes power
Canada announced that it was cutting off aid as of today, while Condoleezza Rice, the US Secretary of State, said that America was reviewing its Palestinian aid programmes to see which ones it would need to freeze. ??The principle is very clear. We??re not going to fund a Hamas-led government, provide funding to a Hamas-led government,? she said.
In response Khaled Mashal, Hamas's exiled leader, appeared on Al Jazeera television this evening to pledge that the new administration could not countenance changing its stance on Israel.
