Note the date.

Opposition Leader Tzipi Livni slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday for his failure to prevent the United Nations vote on a Palestinian state planned for September, calling him a weak and insufficient leader.

"Netanyahu has failed to recruit international support for Israel's basic principles, he has even failed to convince the U.S. to support us," Livni said, adding that "Israel needs a leader, and this government has missed its opportunity."

"I don’t know what is worse, the fact that you know what will save Israel and are afraid to make the decision, or that you are clueless," she said.

Livni went on to criticize Netanyahu for travelling next week to the United States without a prepared peace initiative, and said that it was "unacceptable that Israelis have to pay the price for Netanyahu's weakness."
