Palestinian Power-Sharing Deal Complicates Rice's Mideast Trip - washingtonpost.com: "Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said yesterday that the formation of a Palestinian unity government that includes the Hamas militant group complicates her high-profile peace mission this weekend, strongly suggesting that the new government falls short of standards that would allow a resumption of international aid.
'Our position toward the Hamas government was very clear: It did not meet the international test,' Rice told a group of newspaper reporters on the eve of her departure. 'I have to say that we have not yet seen any evidence that this one will.'"
