Tzipi Livni
@Tzipi_Livni · Israeli opposition & former officials
Tzipi Livni is a former Foreign Minister and Israel's lead negotiator in past peace processes.
I published this tweet during Operation Protective Edge when I was in the Cabinet. Now, following @BenCaspit's publication, it turns out that while I was the one who convinced Secretary of State Kerry during the operation not to involve Qatar and Turkey, explaining that the United States must not give legitimacy to Hamas and its allies, Netanyahu did exactly the opposite. It is now also becoming clear why, at the end of Operation Protective Edge, Netanyahu refused the Security Council resolution I prepared, which included the demilitarization of Gaza, Israeli freedom of action, and the gradual inclusion of the Palestinian Authority. Then as now, he prefers Hamas. An uncalculated risk. For all of us!
Translated from HebrewHave we exhausted the matter of the international damage that Tzvi Sukkot is causing? And now to the main point: When he writes “that there is no place for supporters of terrorism in the State of Israel,” in his view, the Palestinian village is already—or should be—part of the State of Israel, along with its supporters of terrorism. That is where they are taking us, and that is what will blow up in our faces. In every sense.
Translated from HebrewInstead of a regional security alliance between Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other countries in the region, today we got the Muslim NATO alliance, a defense agreement between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. As always when there was an opportunity, Netanyahu preferred the coalition of extremists in his government over a regional security coalition.
