Livni: Palestinian UN bid is PM's political failure

Opposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni said that the Palestinians' decision to turn to the UN for recognition is bad for Israel, and blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the situation.

"Netanyahu's inability to understand reality, and his refusal to continue the negotiations that Kadima held while protecting Israel's interests, has lead us all to one of the most dangerous political failures in its history," she said, "Netanyahu thinks that he talks tough, but in reality he made Israel weaker."
