Netanyahu warns influential rabbi: Annapolis dangerous for Israel

The Olmert government is giving everything away to the Arab side in the run-up to this month's US-sponsored conference on the creation of Palestine.

All Israel is getting in return is more terrorism.

So warned Likud leader and opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu in a meeting with an influential ultra-orthodox rabbi Monday morning.

"They are giving away everything and getting nothing," Netanyahu - a former prime minister – told Ovadiah Yosef as he compared the current pre-parley developments to those that transpired before the Camp David meeting under US President Bill Clinton in 2001.

During his tenure as the country's leader from 1996 to 1999, Netanyahu implemented a policy of strict "reciprocity" - refusing to take a second step down the road towards peace with the Arabs before they took their first step.
This approach successfully stymied "Palestinian” terrorism, and during "Bibi's" tenure not a single "suicide" bomb attack took place.

Yosef, the spiritual head of the Shas political party, reportedly "blessed" Netanyahu but refrained from himself taking a position against the Annapolis meet.
