Lieberman: No withdrawal from Jordan Valley

NAZARETH, (PIC)-- The Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman has affirmed that his government would never relinquish control on the Jordan Valley.

Lieberman said, during a tour of the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea in the company of ministers of his party Yisrael Beiteinu, that the Israeli presence there was “vital” to ensure Israel’s security especially in light of recent changes in the Arab world.

He also rejected the deployment of international forces in the area in light of the regional developments.

The minister described the Jordan Valley as the key to Tel Aviv’s security and one of the most important defense lines in face of any threat.
