Lieberman to Mitchell:
New approach needed for talks
Lieberman, who upon taking office said that Israel is no longer bound by the decisions of the Annapolis Summit, described the two's meeting as "important and in-depth," adding that they spoke of various matters concerning security and the economy and that he was looking forward to their future meeting.
Mitchell, however, told the Israeli foreign minister that the US expects the Israeli government to strive to advance the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to implement a "financial peace" does not suffice, he stressed, telling Lieberman that the Obama administration expects financial steps to be part of the ongoing process.
