Jerusalem - Israel on Sunday rejected as "not serious" a proposal by the Palestinian leadership for a truce and reiterated its demand that radical groups be dismantled before any resumption of peace talks.

Palestinian officials said on Saturday a new truce was possible if the Israelis formally recognised it, pulled out of occupied towns and ended their practice of "targeted killings" of militant leaders.

But senior Israeli government spokesman Avi Pazner dismissed the suggestion, saying "it is not serious".

"As long as terrorist organisations continue to exist, there will not be the possibility of a real ceasefire."
