Här finnns en intervju med Netanyahu i Jerusalem Post:
‘If Palestinians want peace, it can be achieved'
You heard Abbas’s speech, and how far he is from recognizing any Jewish connection to the land. So where does that leave us?
I think it leaves us with a question mark over whether the Palestinians want to engage Israel in a serious peace process that brings this conflict to an end. There is no question that Israelis are prepared to do that – and I represent the vast majority of Israelis who are prepared to enter into serious negotiations with the Palestinians and conclude it with a serious agreement that takes into account our need for security and recognition.I think the Palestinians stand to gain as well, and to satisfy their legitimate aspirations. If their aspirations are the elimination of the Jewish State and to reverse the history of the last 63 years – then obviously that is not going to happen. But if they genuinely want to live next to us in peace and security, then that is an achievable goal.
Would you consider intervening and stopping this (building in Gilo) because of the timing? Are you worried this will cause embarrassment with the Americans?
No, I don’t think there is anything new. We plan in Jerusalem. We build in Jerusalem. Period. The same way Israeli governments have been doing for 44 years, since the end of the 1967 war. We build in Jewish neighborhoods, the Arabs build in Arab neighborhoods, that is the way the life of this city goes on and develops for its Jewish and non-Jewish residents alike.
