PA’s turn to ICC risky for Russia, too, Liberman tells Lavrov
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman meets Russia FM Sergei Lavrov in Russia today. The two discuss continuing the “tight relationship and cooperation” between Russia and Jerusalem and have signed a memorandum of understanding between the two countries, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Liberman told Lavrov that on Iran, Israel is closely following the negotiations between Iran and world powers and said that as far as Israel is concerned, no deal is better than a deal that benefits Iran. Liberman said Israel “is keeping all options on the table.”
Liberman also discussed with his Russian counterpart the Palestinian turn to the International Criminal Court at the Hague and said Russia stands to be harmed by the Palestinians’ using the Hague “as a political tool.”
