Great Britain, recovering from the funeral of the Queen Mother yesterday, now has time to turn to other matters. Foreign Secretary Jack Straw called on Israel to withdraw immediately from the PA-controlled areas. \"Israel\'s reaction to the international community\'s demand for a withdrawal from the Palestinian areas [sic] is insufficient,\" Straw stated.
Australia, on the other hand, will not make this demand of Israel. Foreign Minister Alexander Dunner stated that his country will also not recall its Ambassador from Tel Aviv. He said that both sides are responsible for the escalation.
