US, Israel will not work with PA government unless it recognizes Israel

I wonder how long this will last. Unfortunately, I expect it will not last very long. "US and Israel agree boycott plan," from the BBC, with thanks to Davida:

The US and Israel will not work with a new Palestinian unity government unless it recognises Israel, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said.

He was speaking as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice prepared for talks with Mr Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

Mr Olmert said he and US President Bush agreed on their position on Friday.
