Labor party chairwoman Shelly Yachimovich blamed Prime Minister Bejamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman for the UN's recognition of Palestine, saying it was a direct result of the political stalemate.
Yachimovich said that it is proof that Israel must lead and control the political process, pointing a finger at both for causing Israel an embarrassing loss while giving the Palestinans a huge victory on the same historic date that the UN voted for the 1947 Partition Plan. (Ynet)
