Lieberman threatens to dissolve the Palestinian Authority
The Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman has threatened to dissolve the Palestinian Authority if its president, Mahmoud Abbas, insisted on going ahead with his request for UN recognition of Palestine as a non-member state.
Lieberman wrote on Wednesday that while he wants ``the state of Israel to remain a Zionist, Jewish and democratic state,'' he supported the ``creation of a viable Palestinian state.''
