Lieberman to Putin: Support for PA measures detrimental to peace

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has met with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in Moscow. During the meeting, Lieberman praised the improvement in the economic ties between the two nations, but noted that Israel and Russia differ in their stances on foreign affairs, including developments in the Mideast.

The foreign minister claimed that Russia's support of Palestinian unilateral measures does not promote a peace agreement, and said that supplying Syria with weapons could bring to negative results, especially in the face of the current unrest there. (Attila Somfalvi and Ronen Medzini)
