JERUSALEM, Oct. 8 (Xinhua(Source: China Daily)) -- Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said Saturday that Egypt is not doing enough to prevent the flow of weapons from its territory into the Palestinian National Authority through the Rafah crossing bordering Gaza Strip.

    In an interview with Israel Radio, Shalom said Israel is very disturbed by the development and expressed hope that Egypt would act with greater determination.

    Shalom also opposes further arming the PNA with more weapons, saying Palestinians don't have an ammunition problem but their problem is a lack of will to make a strategic decision to fight Hamas.

    The Israeli official, meanwhile, emphasized that there would be no more unilateral withdrawals and Israel would not lose more assets without receiving anything in return.

    Meanwhile, Israel Radio reported Saturday that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will consult with vice premier Shimon Peres and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz after Sunday weekly cabinet meeting over Israel's position on arrangements governing the Rafah crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.

    The meeting is slated to determine Israel's stance on the freedom of movement of people and goods as well as whether to accommodate the flow through another two nearby crossings. Enditem
