RAMALLAH, West Bank, June 16 (Reuters) - An American envoy told
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas during a meeting on Saturday
that the United States will lift a ban on direct aid to the emergency
government he is forming following Hamas's takeover of the Gaza
Strip, a senior Palestinian official said.

"Abbas was informed the American administration will immediately
lift the sanctions once the emergency government is announced,"
a senior Palestinian official said as Abbas met in the West Bank
city of Ramallah with U.S. Consul-General Jacob Walles.
