Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) Monday that he will outline a vision for a peace plan when he addresses a joint session of Congress on Tuesday.
“I intend to speak the unvarnished truth because now more than ever what we need is peace,” he said in a speech to the pro-Israel lobby.
“Thank You For Defending Israel’s Right To Defend Itself!” Benjamin Netanyahu
Netanyahu was defiant in his opposition to the position that President Obama’s articulated in a speech last Thursday that the 1967 lines, with agreed swaps, should be the basis for future negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.
“Israel cannot return to the indefensible 1967 lines,” he said to roaring applause from the crowd.
“Israel is not what’s wrong with the Middle East. Israel is what is RIGHT with the Middle East.”Netanyahu!
Several times during his speech Netanyahu was interrupted by hecklers from the anti-war group Codepink, who protested Israel’s polices in the West Bank and Gaza. via abcnews.
