There is no chance for peace talks as long as Palestinian authority Pres Mahmoud Abbas Fatah gfaction sticks with reconcilliation deal it signed with Liberman.
He said the deal meant Israel “has no partner” and said it signified a move toward Hamas gaining greater influence in the West Bank.
Reiterating his claim that Abbas is guilty of “diplomatic terror,” Liberman said Israel wasn’t surprised by the Fatah-Hamas pact, as Abbas had tried several times to blow up the Israeli-Palestinian talks during the last few months. He also said that he expects international pressure on Israel to continue engaging in the current US-brokered peace talks, yet asserted that Washington supported Jerusalem’s decision to cancel a meeting of Israeli and Palestinian negotiators.
“It is clear that as soon as Abbas chose to unite with Hamas, it is impossible to make peace with Israel,” the foreign minister told Israel Radio.
On Wednesday, Hamas and the Palestine Liberation Organization announced a reconciliation deal which would see the formation of a technocratic unity government and new elections after years of bitter rivalry.
Israel has lambasted the deal as pushing the Palestinian leadership further from peace with Israel.
On Thursday, top-level ministers making up the so-called security cabinet met to discuss what steps Israel would take in response.
Since the meeting was not yet over, Liberman was hesitant to declare the peace talks suspended. Yet he sounded adamant that Wednesday’s development leaves Israel with little chance of continuing negotiations with the Palestinians beyond the initial April 29 deadline.
“As long as there is a deal with Hamas and Abbas goes into the direction of an agreement with Hamas, the agreement with Israel is impossible,” he said, explaining his Yisrael Beytenu party’s position. “We will not accept a government that openly receives its authority from Hamas, an organization that clearly speaks about violence, terror and doesn’t recognize our right to exist and doesn’t recognize our previous agreements.”
