Israeli Defense Minister: Normalization with Arab Countries Should Not Be Held Hostage to Palestinian Issue
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Monday: "We must not accept a situation in which normalization with the Arab countries will be held hostage to the Palestinian issue....When I look at how the Palestinian Authority is being conducted, I see no sincerity, no real preparation for negotiations and a political settlement with the State of Israel. All I see is an attempt to manipulate us into a corner and hurt us as much as possible in the international arena. There is no intention of reaching any agreement, just putting all the burden on the State of Israel, all the blame."
