Israel ready for “painful compromises” with Palestine
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to make "painful compromises" for peace with the Palestinians, for the first time explicitly saying that some West Bank settlements would find themselves outside Israel's final borders.
Netanyahu said Israel wants and needs peace but repeated his flat rejection of a return to what he called the "indefensible" borders that Israel had before the 1967 Mideast war, AP reported.
