Israel: Content More Important than Timetable of Israel-PA Talks
[Ynet News] Roni Sofer - "I am well aware of the expectations the international community has of these [Israel-PA] negotiations, but we have to create a responsible agreement," Israeli Foreign Minister Livni told the Israel Foreign Press Association Thursday. When asked about U.S. Secretary of State Rice's upcoming visit, Livni said that while the talks' timetable was important, "the content is more important. If we try to bridge this gap in any way other than through a detailed agreement, we could end up with violent clashes." Livni reiterated her call to the international community to unite in the fight against the Iranian nuclear program: "Stopping Iran must be perceived as an international interest...the current sanctions are just not enough." She also commented on Syrian President Assad's visit to Russia, saying that "Syria keeps violating the weapons embargo, but is able to get (the international community's) validation by holding indirect peace talks with Israel. It's trying to regain its legitimacy despite its support of terror organizations."
