Jerusalem - PNN
Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni made harsh criticism for Israeli Economy Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday evening, after the latter gave a speech in which he rejected a peace agreement based on the pre-1967 lines.According to Israeli media outlets, Livni have criticized Bennett and other ministers including Miri Regev regarding her recent announcement to propose a bill in the Knesset that would forbid Israeli government from negotiating with the Palestinians about Jerusalem and the Palestinian refugees. Livni accused “radicals” of sabotaging the peace process. She also called on Bennett not to preach to her about Jewish right to the land of Israel. "The argument is not an argument about a right,” declared Livni. “No one will preach to me about who believes more about the right of the people of Israel to the land of Israel. I believe that the people of Israel have a right to the entire land of Israel, but the argument is not about this issue. The question is whether the Zionist vision comes at the price of a Jewish democratic state.”Livni said that the ministers are not stupid and that they understand that such statements harm the State of Israel and its security.
