Lieberman: 'Bar Ilan was a really important speech'
Continuing his months-long attack against Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, however, the former foreign minister said Israel is content waiting for a suitable partner on the Palestinian side. "We're willing to wait," he told Israel Radio.
"We need to explain to the world that if there is a peace refusenik, it is [Abbas]," Liberman added, saying a number of times that the current government, in which he served as foreign minister, knew very well how to stand up to international diplomatic pressure.
His comments were along the same vein as Prime Minister Netanyahu's comments to Israel Radio earlier Sunday, in which he accused Abbas of stalling negotiations.Lieberman also denied reports that the Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu will split after the elections. The unity between the two parties has thus far been a disaster at the polls.
