At a handover ceremony taking the seat as Israel’s new Foreign Minister, the fascist Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the ultra-nationalist Yisrael Beitenu party, gave a speech saying Israel is not bound by the 2007 Annapolis conference.

The Annapolis conference marked the first time a two-state solution was articulated as the mutually agreed-upon outline for addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The conference ended with the issuing of a joint statement from all parties.

Instead of supporting the Annapolis conference resolution, Lieberman stated that Israel would give Palestinians their own state strictly on Israel’s terms, i.e. only after every single Palestinian alive stopped committing violence against Israel. If so much as one Palestinian blows themselves up in a suicide bomb, all Palestinians shall be refused their own state for another year.
The rocket attacks from Gaza had stopped for four months during a negotiated ceasefire when Israel invaded Gaza and killed several members of Hamas, which escalated into the full scale bombardment and invasion by Israel that killed a thousand Gazan civilians. Two dozen Israelis had been killed by rockets during the previous twelve months. Israel will use the least provocation to go to war. Israel will use the least provocation to collectively punish all Palestinians. Israel will use the least provocation to avoid a long term peaceful solution.
Anyone who seriously thinks that Israel is a partner for peace is a damned fool.
“Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China [Tiananmen Square], when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories.” (Israeli Journal Hotam, November 24, 1989) — Netanyahu, Israel’s new Prime Minister
