Jerusalem - In her first foreign policy speech since being slated to lead Israel's next government, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni promised Sunday to continue negotiations with the Palestinian leadership. "Annapolis will continue," she said, referring to the peace process relaunched in the US city last year and adding that she supported the creation of a Palestinian state.
Livni also said that while many world leaders understood the threat of a nuclear Iran, this had not been translated into strong enough action, in her view.
She spoke at a conference assessing the state's strategy on foreign policy.
Livni won the Kadima party primary elections last month and was chosen by President Shimon Peres to attempt to form a new government, as current Prime Minister Ehud Olmert submitted his resignation.
