IMRA asked Minister of Defense Media Coordinator Avi Benayahu’s office the following question:

In today’s Cabinet Communique, the Minister of Defense said “Israeli society is now confident that there exist interim stations in the [peace] process for inspection and examination, during which we seek results — whose sum total are that our national security is not affected.” Can you identify a specific thing which is inspected in a particular interim station?

Reply: The Minister means that there is a process which, unlike in the past, has stations – breaks. We don’t just run forward,.

IMRA: But you can’t identify something specific?

Reply: No. There are these breaks. That’s what he means.

IMRA: But the rest of the sentence in his statement is that there are results.

Reply: Yes. We want there to be results.

IMRA: So I am trying to understand if there is a specific thing that one can point to.

Reply: There isn’t anything specific.
