Israeli foreign minister: Redraw map to oust Arabs

Occupied Jerusalem: Israel's foreign minister said some Arab citizens should be stripped of their citizenship and placed under Palestinian sovereignty as part of any final peace deal.

Avigdor Lieberman made the comments ahead of a meeting between Israeli and Palestinian peace negotiators later Monday in Jordan.

Speaking to reporters, he reiterated his stance that resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has to involve redrawing Israel's borders to put some Arab communities under Palestinian sovereignty. In return, Israel would receive West Bank territory.

"It's time to say these things clearly," Lieberman said.
