Israel's new FM dismisses Annapolis peace deal
2009-04-02
[Al Arabiya Latest] Israel is not bound by the 2007 relaunch of U.S.-backed peace talks with the Palestinians, new Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Wednesday, striking a hard line on his first day in office as premier Benjamin Netanyahu began his second term saying he did not support a two-state solution.

Lieberman's rejection of the agreement signed in Annapolis, Maryland signaled a hawkish new approach to the peace process that could put Israel's new right-wing government at odds with the international community and main ally the United States.

Roadmap
" There is only one document that binds us and it is not the Annapolis conference "

The Palestinians fired back, warning that Lieberman was an obstacle to peace and urging the international community to pressure Israel into honoring its past commitments.

"There is only one document that binds us and it is not the Annapolis conference," Lieberman said at a handover ceremony at the foreign ministry a day after being sworn in by parliament.

"Only the roadmap. The Israeli government and the Knesset (parliament) never adopted Annapolis," he said.
