Netanyahu says Livni moves ‘shows panic’

Netanyahu, in his first reaction to the news that Livni has given up the rotation agreement, tells Channel 2 that the move shows “panic, due to the narrowing gap [between the parties].”

Netanyahu adds that Livni and Herzog “are either lying now, or have lied before.”

Asked by anchor Yonit Levi whether the same could be said of him — Netanyahu appeared to backtrack Monday on his previous conditional endorsement of a Palestinian state — the prime minister claimed that “circumstances have changed.”
