Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman expressed support on Monday for the stance presented by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu during his current trip to the United States. Speaking to a meeting of his Yisrael Beiteinu Knesset faction, Lieberman said Netanyahu raised the honor of the country and represented the consensus of the public, if not the media.

Regarding what he called "the repetition of the mantra" of the Arab right to return to the Land of Israel, the foreign minister said, "Whoever speaks about the right of return, whether consciously or not, means the de facto elimination of the state of Israel. There won't be negotiations on the right of return for even one refugee. If we open up for one, we will receive a million."
