 Israeli minister heads for Europe

Israel's controversial foreign minister leaves for Europe on Sunday, in the first official visit abroad by a member of the new right-wing government.

Avigdor Lieberman is scheduled to visit Rome, Paris, Berlin and Prague - which currently holds the European Union's rotating presidency.

The visit comes at a time when EU-Israel ties are particularly tense.

The EU wants Israel's new government to endorse a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Statehood issue

An ultra-nationalist Jewish settler in the occupied West Bank, Avigdor Lieberman has sparked controversy at home and abroad.

The focus of his trip to Europe is to emphasise Israel's message that a nuclear Iran would be dangerous for the world at large, not just Israel.

But Mr Lieberman's European counterparts are likely to press him on other issues, such as Palestinian statehood.

There have been mounting calls in Europe to suspend a planned upgrade in relations with Israel until its new right-wing government publicly expresses support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

If the suspension goes ahead Israel's Foreign Ministry has warned the European Union it could lose its role as a broker in Middle East peace efforts.

Mr Lieberman says the phrases "two-state solution" and "land for peace" should be abolished as they over-simplify a complex reality.

He could well ruffle some feathers in Europe. But at the same time Israel's President Shimon Peres has been sent to the US - Israel's closest ally - to calm concerns.

His planned message to the Obama administration: Israel still believes in peace.
