Despite Ban, Livni Continues to Meet PUG Officials Overseas

Justice Minister Tzipi Livni continues to meet with Palestinian Unity Government (PUG) officials overseas, according to a report in Walla.

Livni met with PUG Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki in London on Thursday at an international conference on "war crimes and violence against women in conflict zones".

Walla published a photo of the meeting between Livni and al-Maliki.

PUG sources are saying that Livni also talks on the phone with PUG Intelligence Chief Majed Faraj, PUG negotiator Saeb Erekat and even with Fatah head Jabril Rajoub.

The Israeli government made a decision to cut off all ties with Palestinian Authority officials after they united with Hamas terrorists. Livni has repeatedly flouted that decision. Last month she met with PUG President Mahmoud Abbas, also when overseas.

At a conference in Herziliya earlier this week, Livni, like the US State Department, called on Israel to ignore the unification between the Hamas and Fatah terrorists and deal with the technocratic government. Livni said Israel must fight Hamas, not the Palestinian government [that Hamas is a member of].
