Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman warns that Israel will respond harshly if Palestine is given enhanced status at UN.
"Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman convened Israel's 27 ambassadors
in Europe for an urgent meeting this week in Vienna," to discuss the
Palestinian bid, foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told AFP on
Tuesday.
"The ambassadors will seek to define a diplomatic course with the
Europeans intended to counter this initiative and to this end Lieberman
will go to Vienna," he added.
Meanwhile, the Middle East monitor, citing Israeli sources, reported
that Lieberman had also asked EU officials to fix a definite time for
elections in the occupied territories in order to replace Mahmoud Abbas,
the Palestinian president, who was described as "an obstacle to peace."
