"The Tel Aviv bombing is another example of the utter refusal of the Palestinian Authority to take any steps to prevent terror against Israel. The Palestinian Authority remains apathetic to preventing this terror," said David Baker, an Israeli government spokesman.
Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, called the bombing an act of sabotage against Palestinian parliamentary balloting scheduled for next Wednesday.
"We condemn this attack," he said. "This is an attack to sabotage the Palestinian elections and sabotage the efforts being exerted to revive the peace process after the elections."
It was the first suicide bombing in Israel since Dec. 5, when a bomber detonated explosives outside a shopping mall in the Israeli coastal town of Netanya, killing five Israelis.
Meanwhile, Israel is mobilizing 4,000 police and soldiers to forcibly remove Jewish settlers from two unauthorized West Bank outposts, military officials said Thursday in a possible sign that acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert plans to deal more firmly with extremists than his predecessors.
