Bush admin blocks Congress from imposing further sanctions on PA

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice personally intervened Friday to prevent Congress from passing a bill that would impose further economic sanctions on the Palestinian Arabs.
Congressional leaders are angered over the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority's continued refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist and renounce the use of terrorist violence.
The PA's defiance over these issues would seem to place it in the category of "terrorist entity" as defined by President George W. Bush following the September 11, 2001 attacks on America.
Rice reportedly argued that the increased sanctions would tie the administration's hands in its efforts to deal with so-called "Palestinian moderates."
