Demilitarizing Palestinians a major issue, PM says
Netanyahu says demilitarizing the West Bank is not a small issue, and defends his security concerns as not excuses but real imperatives. He says negotiations are needed to achieve an agreement with mutual recognition and viable security arrangements.
