| | + | The foreign minister wants to "not get into hysteria" from the crisis with the United States, but knows that "there are misunderstandings between us, and this is not the last time." |
| | + | |
| | + | Nor does the "historic-dimensional" crisis in relations with the United States as defined by the ambassador to Washington lead the Secretary of State to change his firm stance. "What are we expected to do? We will forbid Jews to build in the east of the city, or to buy land there. There will be no discrimination in favor of Arabs," Avigdor Lieberman said today (Tuesday) in a conversation with Ynet, asking "not to get into hysteria." |

American journalist, do you imagine the US government will not respect court decisions?" |

| | + | "It must be made clear that it is not possible to have a building ban here only for Jews... We do not want to do anything. We are not looking to confront, nor to provoke anyone. We ask for understanding. So, from the decision on the moratorium to the removal of the checkpoints."</blockquote></ref> |
