FM Liberman to Morsi: Come to Jerusalem
Published on: August 29, 2012Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said at a legal conference in Tel Aviv on Tuesday that peace could not remain an abstract ideal. While Israel is pleased to hear of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi’s commitment to abide by all international treaties, concrete expressions of this commitment should follow.
“I was pleased to hear Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi’s speech regarding Egypt’s’ commitment to peace with Israel, to the Camp David treaty and the struggle against terrorism,” Liberman said. “That is a very important message.”
“Peace also has tangible expressions and is not a telepathic connection,” he added.
While Lieberman noted the importance of Morsi’s remarks, he continued to affirm his desire to further improve the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
“Therefore, we hope to see President Morsi host official Israeli representatives; we want to see him give interviews to the Israeli press, and we want to seem him in Jerusalem as the guest of President Peres,” Liberman explained.
