PEREZ: PALI UNITY GOVT. WOULD BE A SHAM

Peres: Palestinian Unity Government a "Facade" Because Hamas "Doesn't Want Peace"
Israeli Vice Premier Shimon Peres said Wednesday that the national unity government the Palestinians were trying to establish would be nothing more than a "facade," because Hamas militants who would be represented aren't interested in peace. "Hamas doesn't want peace, even if we give them the '67 borders," Peres said. "Hamas wants to use Fatah as a facade to get money." (AP/International Herald Tribune)
