Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman praised US President Barack Obama's "important speech" on Thursday in Cairo, saying it was built upon the principles of justice, progress and democracy, as well as a vision of a better world.
"This speech is highly significant because President Obama sees the Road Map and its first stage – the cessation of violence – as a critical step towards a final agreement. As the president says, the connection between the US and Israel is a strong and unbreakable one that will maintain despite times of legitimate disagreement," he said. (Attila Somfalvi)
