Israeli Army Minister Avigdor Lieberman called Saturday for postponing outpost regulation bill vote until after U.S. newly elected President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Addressing the Saban Forum in Washington Lieberman said that “the key to the future of the settlements is getting understandings with the U.S. on this issue.”
There is no peace with Palestinians he said holding PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas responsible for the suspension of the peace process.
He pointed out that Abbas’s recent statements of the Palestinian right of return are not acceptable.
The Palestinian right of return means the end of Israeli state he said.
Lieberman expressed hope that President-elect Donald Trump will play an active role in ending the war in Syria and will be very tough with Iran.
“We need an active America in the Middle East.”
The Brookings Institution’s annual Saban Forum hosted by Israeli-American billionaire Haim Saban has in the past provided a venue for top Israeli and American diplomats to appraise their challenges and to outline their vision for the Middle East.
