Sen. Lieberman Meets Palestinians in Ramallah
(Jerusalem Post) After meeting with Palestinian Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo in Ramallah, U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman said, "There's strong support for the aspirations of the Palestinian people for a state. The question is whether there will be sufficient leadership here and in the world to bring this about sooner than later." In accordance with U.S. policy, the senator did not meet with Yasser Arafat. (Ha'aretz) Sen. Lieberman also met in Ramallah with Abu Mazen, Saeb Erekat, and Finance Minister Salaam Fayad. The senator said he told the Palestinians that the "most important thing they could do as Palestinian leaders is to separate Palestinian aspirations from terror and violence."
