FM Lieberman Boycotting Visit of President of Brazil
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman announced that he will not meet with the President of Brazil Lula da Silva after the latter refused to lay a wreath on the grave of Theodore Herzl, the founder of modern day Zionism, but laid a wreath on the grave of the arch-terrorist Yassir Arafat.
Lieberman did not come today to the celebratory meeting held in the Knesset in honor of the arrival of the Brazilian president and did not attend a three way meeting that was planned to be held with PM Netanyahu and Lula.
