OCCUPIED-AL-QUDS/RAMALLAH: Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Tuesday told his Russian counterpart that he saw no chance of meeting international aspirations for Palestinian statehood within 18 months.
I do not see any chance of a Palestinian state arising by 2012, Lieberman said at a joint press conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
The reality is that we are still far from reaching understandings and agreements on the founding of an independent Palestinian state by 2012. The Middle East Quartet (Russia, the United States, the United Nations and the European Union) in March had called for an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement within 24 months leading to a two-state solution.
