"The Palestinian Authority has chosen a democratic path to its future, and for America, which values democracy and the rule of law, this is a very hopeful sign," Lieberman told a Jerusalem news conference.

"What is interesting is that we are at the beginning of what is possibly a new and better bilateral relationship between the United States and the Palestinian Authority, based now on their choice of a democratic path."

However, Lieberman said, the Palestinians still have to prove they are committed to stopping violence against Israel.

"All of this of course will be affected by the extent to which the new leadership of the Palestinians commits itself to fight terrorism," he said.
