Israeli FM: “America Accepts All Our Decisions”
-----------------------------------------------



Israel’s new foreign minister is claiming the Obama administration will
only pursue peace initiatives with the Palestinians if Israel gives its
approval. In his first extensive comments since taking office, Avigdor
Lieberman said, “Believe me, America accepts all our decisions.” The
Washington Post is reporting the Israeli government is now telling the
US it will condition any willingness to enter peace talks with
Palestinians on US policy toward Iran. The Israeli government has long
advocated military action against Iran.
