Life is full of choices
The choice not to stop settlement construction is just that: a choice. The Israeli cabinet considers it is more important to please Israeli voters than work towards a negotiated settlement. He mentions the fact that Netanyahu has refused to negotiate with a unity Palestinian government. So how can anyone take this interview seriously? They are basically asking for all their demands to be met BEFORE negotiations.
Good interview with our ally
Shouldn't we be listening?
