Opposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni referredto the recently launched direct talks betweenIsrael and the Palestinians and addressed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ,saying an agreement which would end the conflict is possible, "if you only want it."
"We’ll support what is right, and criticize what is wrong. You can count on us," the Kadima leader told hundreds of party activists Monday during a New Year's toast in Petah Tikva.
"I say to the prime minister, an agreement with security arrangements, and agreement that would end the conflict, is possible if you want it," Livni said.
"To the ministers I say – you have no right to take away the citizens' hope for peace. There is a political and public majority for an agreement."
The opposition leader added that Kadima "wishes the prime minister luck, and this is more than what the ministers in his government are doing."
