TEL AVIV, August 20, 2011 (WAFA) – Right-wing Israeli foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, Saturday held the Palestinian Authority responsible for Thursday attacks near Eilat, south of Israel, and accused it of inciting against Israel, according to the Israeli media.

Lieberman made these statements following a meeting for his staff to discuss the Egyptian decision to withdraw its ambassador in Israel after the killing of three Egyptian soldiers on Friday.

The right wing minister had previously suggested bombing Aswan Dam on the Nile River and attack Egypt, which made him a persona non grata in Egypt.
