Barak: Get Netanyahu and Abbas into one room
None
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said during his meeting with Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos that "we must proceed towards a political process with the Palestinians as soon as possible. The way to test Netanyahu and Abu Mazzen's (Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas) serious intensions is to get them into one room."
Referring to the Iranian threat, Barak said, "As far as Israel is concerned all options are on the table, and I suggest our friends do the same." He further added that there is no danger for a military conflict in the north and stressed that Israel wasn’t interested in increasing tensions. (Roni Sofer)
