Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has ruled out plans to extend a building freeze in West Bank settlements after September. Rejected any link between the construction moratorium and the direct Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, Lieberman told a joint news conference with Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos in Jerusalem today that there is no room for linkage between two. According to Israeli media Haaretz, Lieberman said we must start direct talks, but there is no place for a (construction) moratorium after 25 September.AIR correspondent reports, after pressure from the Obama administration and following a Palestinian refusal to begin talks without freeze, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared ten month partial construction freeze in West Bank settlements last November. The PA however described the freeze as insufficient as it did not include East Jerusalem, which Palestinians want as the capital of their future state. However, the two sides did begin indirect talks recently, mediated by US envoy George Mitchell, who shuttles the short distance between Jerusalem and Ramallah. The last round of direct Israeli-Palestinian peace talks were suspended in December 2008 when Israel stared an offensive on Gaza.
