Lieberman hopes that Palestine will seriously approach the offer of the “quartet” and resume talks with Israel, MIGnews reports.

He also warned that any unilateral step will cause any unilateral feedback on Israeli side. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas asked the United Nations on Friday, September 23 to recognize a state for his people, even though Israel still occupies its territory and the United States has vowed to veto the move. Palestine’s bid will be examined by the UN Security Council on September 26.
