Gaza Strip ? Hamas ended coalition talks Thursday after failing to secure a single party as a partner, but said it would form a government on its own – a scenario likely to ensure international isolation for the Islamic militants.

The new Cabinet, to be presented to parliament next week, also must win the approval of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who has been telling Hamas, which swept January elections, that it must first renounce violence and accept interim peace accords with Israel.

Hamas has rejected those demands, also made by Israel, the United States and Europe, which label Hamas a terrorist group. Israel has suspended monthly transfers of millions of dollars in tax money to the Palestinians, and Western donors are considering cutting aid – a critical element in the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority’s budget.

Representatives from the U.S., Russia, European Union and United Nations were gathering Thursday in Brussels, Belgium, to discuss how to bypass the Palestinian Authority and get aid directly to the Palestinians.
