Liberman says Abbas wanted to create conflict with UN speech
“Abbas’s speech was a ‘no no bear’ speech,” Liberman tweets referring to a children’s book about a reluctant bear.
“It was an inventory of all the insults and disappointments from the day he was born. Instead of answering the outstretched hand of the Israel and US agreement, all that interests Abbas is to get even, and to deteriorate the region into conflict,” the defense minister says.
“We will stand determined against any attempt to harm the lives of our citizens and will exact a price from the other side.”
