Livni: Israel is both a Jewish state and a democratic state

Israel is both a Jewish state and democratic state, Foreign Minister and Kadima chair Tzipi Livni said Saturday night. Speaking at a campaign event in the Arab village of Tamra, Livni told attendees, "You have forged an alliance with us on the basis that Israel is both a democratic state and a Jewish state." "I know how to create the common mechanism between the two," she added.
