Lieberman demanded that the permanent agreement with the Palestinians include an exchange of populations and territories, in a way which will guarantee the Jews a majority of 80% in the State of Israel. Lieberman also demanded that the Palestinians halt all terrorist activities and handle their economic problems before the permanent agreement is discussed, media reported.(12,57)
