Liberman says full ties with Arabs could swing deal
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says the opportunity for full relations with Arab states would sway the government to accept a deal with the Palestinians.
“If someone comes and puts a deal on the table that includes an agreement with all the moderate Arab states, including the opening of embassies, trade relations and direct flights, I believe that it will get an overwhelming majority in the Knesset and among the people,” he tells Channel 2.
Asked what such a scenario depends upon, he says “leave that for the next interview.”
Are things going on behind the scenes, he is asked, but refuses to elaborate.
