Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. (AP) Last update - 16:16 15/02/2008 Livni tells Rice: Qassams must stop before end of peace talks By Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Tzipi Livni, Iran, U.S.  Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni met with United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Washington on Thursday, and vowed that Israel would continue to wage a war against Palestinian terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip and that negotiations with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas cannot be successful without an end to the firing of Qassam rockets by Palestinian militants in the Strip. "Israel will not allow the founding of a terrorist state on it's borders," Livni said, adding there is a pressing need to find solutions to the political reality in Gaza, and vowed to continue to carry out negotiations with the PA on final status issues. Livni was in Washington to take part in a memorial ceremony for U.S. Congressman Tom Lantos, a Holocaust survivor, who passed away Tuesday at the age of 80 from cancer of the esophagus.
