Abbas not legitimate representative of Palestinians: Lieberman

8220;Abu Mazen is not really legitimate leader,and this is why he has offered a new demand,or advice,to replace Lieberman with Tzipi Livni,8221; the hawkish leader of right-wing Yisreal Beteinu party said.

Lieberman argued that the Palestinian President8217;s advice and recent demands from the Israeli government emanates from his waning control over his masses.

8220;I definitely view this piece of advice as a great blessing. His demand to halt construction in the settlements is only an expression of his distress and inability,8221; he said.

8220;As Abu Mazen8217;s authority or legitimacy deteriorates or declines,he raises his demands and toughens his position,8221; Lieberman said.
