Barak: Lieberman speech eggs on Israeli opponents

Defense Minister Ehud Barak clarified that Lieberman's speech at the UN "does not reflect the Israeli government or Labor Party position" and added that it feeds into the game played by opponents of Israel.

In a statement provided by Barak's office: "The Labor Party believes continuing negotiations in order to achieve a peace accord with the Palestinians is essential." (Attila Somflavi)
