"How can dialogue go on when there is a bomb underneath the table?"

The talks, which had been due to resume on Friday, will now be held on Sunday at the earliest.

Two Hamas supporters, a member of the Fatah-linked al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and two bystanders were killed in a series of shootings on Friday.
