Netanyahu cool to Arab peace initiative, report

Share:

netanyahu defIsrael’s prime minister is giving a cool reception to a renewed peace offer from the Arab world.

In a parliamentary debate on the Arab peace initiative Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made scant mention of the plan and gave little indication that is willing to embrace it.

The peace plan offers Israel normalized relations with the Arab world in exchange for a pullout from territories captured in the 1967 Mideast war to make way for a Palestinian state. Arab leaders recently sweetened the plan to allow for “land swaps” that would enable Israel to retain some captured land.

Netanyahu said Israel is willing to discuss initiatives that are “offers, not dictates.” He also made no mention of Israel’s pre-1967 lines and said negotiations should begin without any preconditions.

    Ok. Begin with logic. And make sure everyone on BOTH sides adheres to it. No religion involved.
    And let some Syrian refugees have ‘the farms’ too – set up some food trade with Lebanon – Organic only. And the next time the grasshoppers show up, don’t spray them … harvest them. 🙂

      It’s O.K. as long as they chocolate-coat them.
