Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie condemned Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip today.

"These Israeli acts do not help ceasefire talks, they discourage them. Unfortunately this is part of the permanent Israeli aggression against the Palestinians. We want the Israeli government to sit down with us and negotiate a ceasefire," he told reporters.

But Israel has ruled out a ceasefire until the Palestinians crack down on Islamic militants.
