Willing to give up land for peace

Israeli P.M. Netanyahu Address to Congress: From Earlier

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Capitol Hill today meeting with members of Congress and delivered an address to a Joint Meeting of Congress.
During his speech to Congress P.M. Netanyahu stated, “As President Obama said, borders will be different than 1967. Israel will not return to ‘indefensible’ borders.” He added “It’s absolutely vital that a Palestinian state be demilitarized.”
He suggested that Israel is “willing” to advance the negotiations but must “make painful compromises” for peace.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Netanyahu and Congressional Leaders also held a briefing with reporters following the joint meeting.
To members of AIPAC last night, Netanyahu said, “Israel cannot return to the indefensible 1967 line,” which President Obama said is the foundation for negotiation.
