If somebody thinks, after the way Taep Erdoan spoke out, even though thre will be visits and smiles, that somebody will agree to Turkish mediation [in peace talks with Syria], he can forget about it. There will be no Turkish mediation as long as I am Foreign Minister and as long as Yisrael Beiteinu is in the government. the Syrians wants to talk? Only with direct negotiations...One time in Jerusalem and one time in Damascus - there is no other recipe....
[Regarding the Palestinians] we brought here a group of terrorists from Tunisia, we gave them weapons and control and we gave up our rights in Gush Katif. The current Palestinian leadership is not prepared and is not ripe to sign a peace agreement.... We think that if we give up more and more, everything will be ok and work out. To me it is clear that even if we return to the border of '67 and we divide Jerusalem, nothing will change and they will find another excuse to not progress to peaceful relations.
--- Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman
