Minister Shalom: US pressure could boomerang
None
Deputy Prime Minister Silvan Shalom said regarding the diplomatic dispute with Washington that "there are differences of opinion that touch upon the root of the issue, but it is important to remember that there is a wide base of friendship and cooperation between Israel and the US."
"We must do everything possible to reach an agreement, but the Americans also need to understand that if the pressure continues to be one-sided it won't contribute, and may even lead to an opposite effect – aka boomerang," Shalom added. (Roni Sofer)
