Netanyahu Will Push for Israel-Palestinian Peace
[AP] Amy Teibel - Israel's incoming prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Wednesday promised to resume peace talks with the Palestinians after he takes office, saying his government will be a "partner for peace." Netanyahu said that peace is a "common and enduring goal for all Israelis and Israeli governments, mine included. This means I will negotiate with the Palestinian Authority for peace." "I think that the Palestinians should understand that they have in our government a partner for peace, for security, for the rapid development of the Palestinian economy," he said. Netanyahu said his economic development plan for the Palestinians is not a substitute for political negotiations. "It's a complement to them," he said, calling a strong economy a "strong foundation for peace."
