      Eldad: Annapolis 'Breakthrough' Just 'Empty Words'


      MK Aryeh Eldad (NU/NRP) mocked the announcements Friday morning regarding a "breakthrough" in talks between Israel and the PLO preceding the Annapolis summit.

      "Abu Mazen, who cannot fight car thieves in his neighborhood of Ramallah, promises to fight terror effectively and in exchange [Prime Minister] Olmert is willing to give him Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem, and allow refugees in," said Eldad.

      "There is nothing cheaper than empty words," said Eldad. "It is too bad that Israel is willing to pay for them with land and blood."
