(Ynet News) Roee Nahmias - The Palestinian Authority has failed to live up to even one agreement reached with Israel over the last five years, former Shin Bet Chief Avi Dichter charged Thursday. During a lecture in Jerusalem, he extensively described the Palestinian culture of lies and failure to deliver on agreements. "This cannot go on," he said. "It's important not to allow the Palestinians to work with us while resorting to the culture of lies." Dichter said Israeli trust in Palestinian pledges has been gravely undermined in the past five years as a result of the Palestinian tendency to bend the truth. "We must not accept their culture of lies, but we must be familiar with it," he said. Dichter said that Palestinian terror organizations are doing everything in their power to reestablish infrastructures in the West Bank, while continuing to develop Kassam rockets. "The moment the Hamas can carry out an attack, it will do it," he said.
