[Ynet News] Attila Somfalvi - Speaking at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya on Monday, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said: "There is no disputing the fact that there is a gap between the will of the pragmatic Palestinian leaders and their capability to execute. Even if we do, hopefully, resolve the principal issues relating to the Palestinian state, it is clear that we cannot just separate and throw the key to the other side and hope for the best." "The Gaza experience is a living example of what the world cannot afford. Israel fully withdrew from the Gaza Strip, thus terminating its so-called occupation of the Strip, and allowing the Palestinians to establish independent governance. In return, we received increased terror, daily Kassam rocket attacks against cities in Israel and the establishment of a Hamas stronghold on our southern border. We must ensure that there is an efficient and effective government which takes control over the area and prevents attacks against Israel."
