‘I am ready to make a historic compromise’
“Together we can strengthen regional security,” Netanyahu says on peace with the Arab world, giving a more upbeat turn.
He adds that it can also help Israeli-Palestinian peace.
“Peace can be realized with the active involvement of Arab countries,” he says.
“I am ready to make a historic compromise,” he adds, but says Israel is not an occupier. “I want peace because I want it to create a better future for my people, but I want a genuine peace,” he says.
However, he adds, rock solid security arrangements are needed, citing Gaza and southern Lebanon as reasons for Israel to be jittery about territorial concessions.
