NYT slams PM for failing to negotiate with PA
None
A New York Times editorial fiercely slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for compromising to achieve the Shalit deal while being unwilling to do the same to resume peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
"Mr. Abbas should see the prisoner swap for what it is — a challenge to his authority and credibility. As for Mr. Netanyahu, we saw on Tuesday that the problem is not that he can’t compromise and make tough choices. It’s that he won’t. That won’t make Israel safer. "(Yitzhak Benhorin, Washington)
