Vice premier demands cabinet meeting on direct talks
Vice Premier Silvan Shalom turned to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a Likud ministers' meeting and demanded a cabinet or government discussion ahead of Netanyahu's scheduled meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Sharm el-Sheikh on September 14.
The prime minister responded that a meeting would be held once decisions had to be made. Shalom replied that such a meeting was required as soon as possible and that "we have never seen such a thing." (Attila Somfalvi)
