After dismissing Livni’s endless litany about continuing the Oslo process “21 years after it was started and failed” Liberman also took a swipe at Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar. “The interior minister spoke (at the Herzliya Conference) of continuing the status quo . . . It’s like in soccer, if you do not initiate and are always defending you eventually concede the goal.”
Liberman instead sent a few more platelets spinning towards the already murky waters: “The situation today is not what it was more than 10 years ago. . . it is no longer quiet in the Arab world.” The foreign minister maintained the best solution was to simply bring everyone to the negotiating table “in one fell swoop and solve everything at one time.”
Unrealistic? Yes. Time to come home from Disneyland, Avigdor. But as long as everyone else is grandstanding, he probably figures he may as well get his day in the spotlight too.
Even if it costs his ally just a bit more blood.
