Bibi: Talks With Palestinians Could Result in Interim Agreement

By Barak Ravid (Haaretz) December 27, 2010

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview aired on Channel 10 on Monday evening that peace negotiations with the Palestinians could result in an interim agreement.

“There could well be a situation that if we enter into talks with the Palestinians and we hit a wall on the issues of Jerusalem and refugees, the result would be an interim agreement,” Netanyahu said. “That is certainly a possibility.”

The prime minister was responding to a question about Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s diplomatic plan for an interim agreement, which was reported on by Haaretz on Monday.
