Israeli PM vows to seek 'full peace' with Muslims
Wednesday, 1 April 2009
Israel's new Prime Minister has promised to seek "full peace" with the Arab and Muslim world after his coalition government was voted into power by the Knesset yesterday.
However, Likud leader Benyamin Netanyahu made no mention of an independent Palestinian state and instead used language that harked back to the notion of limited Palestinian autonomy.
He told the parliament that he wanted Palestinians to "have all the authority to rule themselves".
Mr Netanyahu has put together a coalition that mainly includes right-wing politicians, many of whom are extremely hostile to the idea of a Palestinian state.
The ultra-nationalist Avigdor Lieberman has been appointed Foreign Minister.
