Former Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) spoke out against Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas today.

"We can only hope that his threats to resign will come true because Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas] is the obstacle to a settlement between Israel and the Palestinians," said MK Liberman.

However, Liberman noted that "We have heard Abu Mazen's threats to resign many times - but he is still with us."
