Israeli Elections Did Not Give Mandate for Unilateral Action

AND NOW: NEGOTIATIONS!

-The elections gave a mandate for withdrawal from the occupied territories and dismantling of the settlements.

-They did not give a mandate for unilateral action, under the pretext that ‘there is no partner’.

-They dictated the setting up of a coalition of those who prefer negotiations with the Palestinians.

-To fulfill the will of the voters, lip service is not enough.

-The new government must start meaningful negotiations with the elected Palestinian leadership.
