Netanyahu Promotes Efforts Toward a Peace Deal
(New York Times) Mark Landler and Jodi Rudoren - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Tuesday made an enthusiastic pitch for a peace accord with the Palestinians, saying it would enable Israel to tighten ties with its Arab neighbors and "catapult the region forward" on issues like health, energy and education. "We could better the lives of hundreds of millions," Netanyahu said in a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). "We all have so much to gain from peace." "I hope that the Palestinian leadership will stand with Israel and the United States on the right side of the moral divide, the side of peace, reconciliation and hope," Netanyahu said.
