From news article:
"The government of Israel, because of our democratic tradition and because of the continuity principle, is going to abide by all previous commitments the former government took, including the acceptance of the road-map to peace, which will lead to a two-state solution," deputy foreign minister Daniel Ayalon said on Sunday, ahead of Mr Lieberman's tour.

Previously, Mr Lieberman had said that the new government would not have to be bound by previous government decisions and hawkish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has until now not endorsed the two-state solution to the decades-long conflict.

Mr Lieberman, a former settler in the West Bank, has already caused a stir on his first day in office when he announced that Israel was no longer bound by the decision that the previous government took at a conference in Annapolis, US in November 2007 to restart negotiations with the Palestinians.

"People try to simplify the situation with these formulas: land for peace, two-state solution," Mr. Lieberman said. "It's a lot more complicated." He added that the real reason for the deadlock "is not occupation, not settlements and not settlers." Nor, he said, is it the Palestinians. The biggest obstacle, he said, is "the Iranians."
