Israeli Foreign Minister: "We Are Looking for a Way to Continue Normal Life"
[Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs] Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman discussed building in the territories and Jerusalem on Army Radio on Sunday: "We are really not looking for confrontations or friction. We are looking for a positive way to continue normal life, natural life, also in Judea and Samaria, and to try to help the United States stabilize the entire region and, perhaps, to change a little the direction of the Muslim world. We are open, we want to reach understandings, agreements, also based on previous agreements and understandings." "Today, in the western part of the city [of Jerusalem], in Jewish neighborhoods, thousands of Arabs live - they rent apartments, they buy apartments, they build apartments. Private people initiate a private project, purchase land legally, acquire all the necessary permits from the Planning Commission, and the courts also confirm that everything is according to law. What exactly should the State of Israel do here? Pass laws restricting Jews in Jerusalem?"
