Netanyahu: Let's Discuss the Core Issues

Prime Minister Netanyahu told the Globes Business Conference on Monday: "I believe that the United States has succeeded in understanding after a year and a half that we were, in fact, on a dead-end road, in a discussion that was in great measure unproductive regarding the peripheral issue of additional construction in the settlements. The United States understood that what is important is getting to the important issues, the substantial issues, including the core issues that are at the root of the conflict between us and the Palestinians. I welcome the fact that it made this decision, although in the discussions we conducted, we were prepared to examine an additional extension of the moratorium." "In order to achieve peace, the issues that are truly delaying the peace must be discussed: the question of recognition, the question of security, the question of various arrangements, refugees, etc....I welcome the fact that we will begin our discussions on these issues; we will narrow the gaps; and probably later on, when these gaps are narrowed, we will also begin direct negotiations with the goal of reaching a framework peace agreement."
