Silvan Shalom tasked with Palestinian dossier
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed Interior Minister Silvan Shalom to head talks with the Palestinians and to lead efforts to improve ties with the United States, Israel Radio reports.
Shalom will be taking over a role filled by former justice minister Tzipi Livni in the last Knesset.
Speaking to Israel Radio, Livni says she has not yet met with Shalom to brief him on where she left the two dossiers. Livni adds that she would be willing to assist any minister who would seek an agreement with the Palestinians, but that the appointment of Shalom will not change the position of the international community on Israel.
