The Times of Israel: Livni: Israel must decide between annexation and partition

Speaking at the Herzliya Conference on Thursday, she responds to comments minutes earlier by former defense minister Moshe Ya’alon, who criticized the Netanyahu government as “unethical” and said he would run in the next election in a bid to replace Netanyahu.

“I’m glad that Ya’alon is going to war over values, but the real question is what we’re going to do with the territories,” she says, referring to the West Bank.

Ya’alon is considered a liberal on many domestic issues, including gay rights and rule of law, but opposes an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank in the near term on security grounds.
