RIYADH (AFP) — Gulf monarchies called on the international community to continue giving aid to the Palestinians after Hamas's shock election win.
Gulf Cooperation Council foreign ministers "invite the international community to continue financial aid to the Palestinians and not to punish the Palestinian people for their democratic choice," said a statement issued at the end of their meeting in Riyadh.
They also called on all Palestinian factions to "close ranks" to achieve their aim of establishing "an independent state, with Jerusalem as its capital, by negotiation", implicitly calling on Hamas to renounce violence.
