Minister Yishai unconcerned about Palestinian statehood declaration
None
Interior Minister Eli Yishai said during the weekly government meeting that "we shouldn't worry about the Palestinians declaring themselves a state, as there is always an Israeli option for response".
However National Infrastructure Minister Uzi Landau regarded the possible declaration more seriously. "This is a hostile intention, and I think it is impudence meant to thwart all attempts at negotiations," he said. (Aviad Glickman)
