Lieberman: I want to be foreign minister |
2009-03-01 |
Israel Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman said that while he was capable of holding every government portfolio, he would like to serve as Israel's foreign minister. "I think I can hold every portfolio-defense, finance and Foreign Ministry. I think personally I'd like the foreign office," Lieberman was quoted as telling Newsweek in an interview published on Saturday. Asked whether he would continue the peace process if he joined Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu's government, Lieberman replied that while he is committed to peace, gradual steps were important. "You can't start with Jerusalem or the evacuation of the settlements. You must start with the security and the economy. You must strengthen the Palestinian Authority," the Israel Beiteinu leader reportedly said. |

#3 In fact, Lieberman wants to be foreign minister so much, he's willing to soften his original hardline stance on Iran. |

#1 You must strengthen the Palestinian Authority By nailing them to trees, preferably. |
