Quote of the week: The world is as flat as a self assembled IKEA Furniture

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman on Sweden's recognition of Palestine as a state:

"The Swedish government should understand that Middle East relations are more complex than a piece of self-assembled IKEA furniture, and the matter should be handled with responsibility and sensitivity"

In reply, Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom:

"I will be happy to send Israel FM Lieberman an IKEA flat pack to assemble. He'll see it requires a partner, cooperation and a good manual."
