Netanyahu: Israel Seeks Peace with the Entire Arab and Muslim World
[Jerusalem Post] Shelly Paz and Tovah Lazaroff - Israel seeks peace with the entire Arab and Muslim world but continues to be threatened by the forces of Islamic extremists, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday as the Knesset voted 69-45 to approve his new government. "I separate extremist Islam from the general Muslim world, which is also threatened by extremist Islam," he told the Knesset. "The Muslim culture is a rich culture that knew times of prosperity, of Arabs and Jews who lived together and created things together." "If the heads of the Palestinian Authority want peace, I tell them now - we can achieve it." "We will carry out ongoing negotiations for peace with the Palestinians in an attempt to reach a permanent agreement," he said. "We don't want to rule another people, and the agreement will give the Palestinians all the rights to rule themselves, except for those that endanger Israel."
