Lieberman to British FM: Israel will not extend freeze
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman spoke with his British counterpart William Hague and stressed that Israel will not extend the construction freeze in the West Bank. According to Lieberman, "The Palestinians wasted nine months, and even on the tenth month they didn’t join the talks out of a true intention to reach an agreement, but because they were coerced."
The foreign minister added that the construction freeze was only an excuse for the Palestinians to thwart the talks, and that it was now the Palestinian Authority's turn to concede to Israel. (Ronen Medzini)
