As of yet, no Likud minister or Knesset Member has expressed support for Prime Minister Sharon's speech of last night. NRP chief Minister Effie Eitam, however, had some strong words against it, saying that the establishment of a Palestinian state is an "existential danger for Israel." Eitam said that merely the declaration of willingness to establish such an entity is an "admission of our defeat and a victory for the terrorists." National Union party leader Avigdor Lieberman, too, said that a Palestinian state will be a terrorist state.
