PA officials threaten boycott of Liberman as defense minister
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSenior PA officials will refuse to meet with Liberman once he becomes defense minister, as anticipated, an advisor to Abbas says, accusing the Yisrael Beytenu leader of “terrorist behavior.”
The Abbas aide tells Channel 10, that “Liberman’s appointment harms the peace process, which is already faltering.” He says the appointment gives rise to the real possibility of an escalation on the ground of hostilities between Israel and the Palestinians, both in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
“We will never meet with Avigdor Liberman,” he says.
