Netanyahu: No Palestine without demilitarization (New Pictures!)
Ha'aretz ^ | 6/24/09

Posted on 06/24/2009 2:21:11 PM PDT by Cinnamon Girl

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that his suggestion of a demilitarized Palestinian state was gaining international ground and was the only solution for Middle East peace.

"The idea of a demilitarized state will in course become accepted," Netanyahu said after meeting the leaders of France and Italy.

"If it is not accepted, there will not be an agreement," he told following his meeting in Paris with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. "It cannot be that there is a Palestinian state and the struggle will continue within it."

Sarkozy, meanwhile, said that Israel must take immediate confidence-building measures for Middle East peace, including a complete freeze of construction in West Bank settlements.

The French leader told reporters after his meeting with Netanyahu that Israel must also work to improve freedom of movement for Palestinians in the West Bank.

He also called for the immediate creation of a viable Palestinian state and offered to contribute French troops to an international force, with the United States and Paris's EU partners, to secure peace in the region.

Netanyahu reiterated his stance that Israel had no intention "of expropriating additional land" for settlements, but that it had a right to build within existing settlements.

"All we want is for [the settlers] to have a normal life," he said.

He praised the French president as "an old friend of Israel and a great champion of peace and security for our country and the Middle East."

Glad to see Netanyahu finding new best friends!

Obamah is no friend of Israel.

“My way or the highway,” says Bibi. Great pictures! Sarkozy is such a nebbish, bless his heart.

Speaking to reporters in Paris, Netanyau downplayed the tensions with the U.S. Differences could occur "among the best of friends," Netanyahu said, adding that Israel was in the process of clarifying its settlement policy to Washington.

...”We do, “The Pied Piper”, who leads all the wealth and prosperity out of our country..”

I was thinking more on the “Lord of the Flies” myself.

FTA: “Sarkozy, meanwhile, said that Israel must take immediate...”

Why?!?

Why must Israel always take the first steps??? Let the so-called Pali-muzzies take a few steps, like releasing Gilad Shalit and the other Israeli soldiers they’ve been holding hostage.

"If it is not accepted, there will not be an agreement,"

Excellent.

Israel had no intention "of expropriating additional land" for settlements, but that it had a right to build within existing settlements.

Not good. Israel has a perfect right to build as much as they want to expand existing homes (not "settlements") in Judea and Samaria. I hope the "no intention" language he consistently uses is because it is just a ruse.

*** FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST *** FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO JOIN ***

GREAT PICTURES ! Thanks to Cinnamon Girl for the Post, and to Sunken Civ for the Ping!

The idea of a demilitarized Palistinian state makes perfect sense.

Sarko and Bibi have a great deal in common. They both are pro-American and love democracy and freedom. They are both conservatives, each in his own way. They are both tough in words and deeds, unlike our girlie-man of a POTUS.

Curious that there was nothing about this on the French News , le Journal de 8 heures.

Did it happen later on in the day?

Here is my completely shallow comment...I have a huge crush on Bibi. Not only is he handsome but he has such a commanding air about him. HOT HOT HOT He was interviewed by Oliver Stone for one of Stone's documentaries and while the interview was going on there was a suicide bomb attack nearby. Stone said "Was that at a settlement?" and Bibi (in this wonderful "you're a jackass tone") said "Yes. A little settlement we call Jerusalem." lol

Obama doesn't like Bibi because Bibi is a real leader, and more importantly, a real man.
