Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman is calling on Israel to cut all ties with the PA (Palestinian Authority) following the passing of UN Resolution 2334, including joint contact. The resolution categorizes all settlements illegal and in fact, residents of the communities liberated in the June 1967 Six Day War are viewed as international criminals by the Security Council.

It is reported the senior minister has instructed the IDF to halt all cooperation and contact with senior PA officials to the exclusion of security cooperation.

Lieberman explains his actions, that the Security Council resolution presented by Egypt was the result of PA pressure on the Arab League.
