Tuesday, 11 November 2008Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni dismissed as irrelevant on Tuesday a policy statement issued by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in which he called for a return to the 1967 borders, with a few changes.
"As the head of the Kadima party, I am obligated not to the outgoing words of Olmert, but to Kadima's platform, which I wrote and which I believe in," said Livni in a morning interview with Army Radio.
It is that platform alone, she said, "which determines the principles by which I negotiate."
On Monday Olmert said, "We must relinquish Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem, and return to that territory which comprised the State of Israel until 1967, with the necessary amendments stemming from the realities created on ground."
He spoke a ceremony at Jerusalem's Mount Herzl Cemetery to mark the 13th anniversary of the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
