(IsraelNN.com) Deputy Prime Minister Eli Yishai said Tuesday that Price Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas were in a “dream” when giving their opening speeches at the Annapolis conference.  “The question is, after Annapolis what reality will we wake up to,” he asked.

“I support peace,” Yishai said, “but with a real partner.  Right now we have a virtual partner.”  The PA leadership had not managed to disarm terrorist groups, stop rocket attacks, or end incitement against Israel, he said.
