Liberman starts his first fire

New foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Wednesday that Israel was changing its policies on the peace process and was not bound by commitments it made at a U.S.-sponsored conference to pursue creation of a Palestinian state.
During an official ceremony at the President’s Residence on Wednesday, Lieberman said: “There is one document that obligates us – and that’s not the Annapolis conference, it has no validity.
Lieberman said later that [his] declaration was not an empty statement, but “an expression of a change in Israel’s policy regarding the peace process.”
