Israeli Foreign Minister: Gestures toward PA Are Finished

(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - "Since the establishment of the government we have made a large number of gestures," Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Sunday at a press conference with visiting Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store. He was referring specifically to Prime Minister Netanyahu's acceptance of the principle of a two-state solution, the reduction of the number of roadblocks in the West Bank, the convening of the Fatah convention in Bethlehem last year, and the ten-month housing-start moratorium in the settlements. "From our position we are finished with the arsenal of gestures," he said. "There will not be any other gestures." "Right now we are waiting for gestures from the Palestinians," he said. Rather, Lieberman said, Israel has instead seen "Palestinian incitement against Israel in every possible international forum, calls for a boycott of Israeli products, suits filed against us in the International Court of Justice in The Hague, and the creation of a fund to convince people to boycott Israeli goods."
