Israeli FM Lieberman: "Fatah burying any chance of peace"

JPOST: Israeli FM Lieberman: "Fatah burying any chance of peace"

The political platform formulated at the Fatah General Assembly in Bethlehem, combined with unrest in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, "has buried any chance of coming to an agreement with the Palestinians in the next few years," Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Monday.

Speaking to 29 Democratic Congressmen in his Jerusalem office, Lieberman said that "the Palestinians' uncompromising, extremist positions on Jerusalem, right of return, and settlements are making a gap between us that can't be bridged."

According to a statement from the Foreign Ministry, he also said that there was no body representing all Palestinians, though there is "Hamastan in Gaza and Fatahland in Judea and Samaria."

The foreign minister told the Congressmen that Israeli policy regarding the Palestinians should include continuing dialogue, and improving both security arrangements and the economic situation in the West Bank.

He warned that trying to force an agreement would inevitably end in failure, calling the current government policy "realistic."

IF THE LAST SIX MONTHS ARE A GUIDE, PRETTY SOON OBAMA WILL TRY TO FORCE A 1000 PAGE ARAB-CODDLING LEFTIST "PEACE AGREEMENT" DOWN THE THROATS OF ISRAELIS AND JOOOOOOZE.

LIEBERMAN'S RIGHT, OF COURSE: THERE IS NO PARTNER FOR PEACE. AND ANY AGREEMENT WITH THE PALESTINIAN ANIMALS WILL ONLY MAKE ISRAEL MORE VULNERABLE TO JIHADIST MAYHEM.
