Minister for Strategic Affairs Avigdor Lieberman on Saturday said that Israel needs to wake up and declare war on the "Palestinians," who do not truly desire peace with the Jewish state.

Lieberman noted that the "Oslo Accords" and Road Map peace processes are in tatters because of the Palestinian Arabs' refusal to honor their commitments, and insisted that for Israel to continue to adhere to those defunct scraps of paper is a mistake that threatens the nation's future.

Instead, said Lieberman, Israel needs to retake control of the Gaza-Sinai border, liquidate the Hamas leadership, and trash any diplomatic efforts based on the idea that Mahmoud Abbas' PLO is a capable and relevant partner for peace.
