Newly sworn in Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman was quick to announce on Monday evening that he supports the “two-state solution” to solve the Israeli-Palestinian Arab conflict.

In a joint statement, Liberman and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu expressed support for the recent call by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi for the sides to reach a peace agreement.

“I am committed to peace with our Palestinian neighbors and with all our neighbors,” the Prime Minister said in the statement. “The Arab peace initiative includes essential elements that can help restore constructive negotiations with the Palestinians. We are ready to negotiate with the Arab countries on updating the initiative, to reflect the dramatic changes since 2002, and to maintain the agreed goal of two states for two peoples.”

“We welcome the recent speech of al-Sisi and his willingness to promote peace in the region,” added Netanyahu.

Incoming Defense Minister Liberman said in the statement, “I agree to everything, including the two-state solution. I often spoke about recognition of the solution of two states for two peoples. I certainly agree that the Arab initiative has several very positive elements that allow for a serious dialogue with the countries of the region.”

According to Liberman, “I supported the Bar-Ilan speech. Al-Sisi’s speech was very important and has created a real opportunity and we must try to rise to the challenge.”

The man is a fool. Nothing will solve this conflict as the problem is the false “religion” of Islam. Golda Meir said it succinctly: “There will never be peace as long as the Arabs hate Jews more than they love their own children.”

I thought he was brought into the coalition and was opposed to the two state solution...the only thing i get here is that Israelie politicians are like ours..they lie to get elected and then go a different way.

I propose a "two-state" solution:

This for Israel

This for the Arabs, errrrr, "Palestinians"

PLENTY of land for the Palestinians to settle. Their Muslim brothers will show them their famous hospitality, and the world will be a better place.

To be fair, it was hysterical leftists saying that he was opposed to the two-state solution. If only they had been right.

Yeah. That will work about as well as giving Gaza self-rule.

The Palestinian ‘State’ should be east of the Jordan River.
There needs to be a geographical natural barrier between the two States.

1,400 years of Muslim occupation of Jewish and Christian holy lands. Isn’t it time for it to end?
