Ha'aretz:

The Obama Administration will put forth new peace initiatives only if Israel wants it to, said Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman in his first comprehensive interview on foreign policy since taking office.

"Believe me, America accepts all our decisions," Lieberman told the Russian daily Moskovskiy Komosolets.

Also, Haaretz notes, Israel's foreign minister chose to give his first comprehensive interview on foreign policy to a Russian, and not Israeli newspaper.

Meanwhile, in another interview, with the Post, Lieberman's deputy, Danny Ayalon, seems to contradict much of what Lieberman said to Moskovski Konsomoletz.
