Peace in the Middle East Vision outlined by Israeli leader
In an interview, the Israeli leader outlines a vision of peace with Arab states as a staged process combining political separation with economic integration. He says Israel seeks negotiations without preconditions but will state where it wants borders, notes no annexation of occupied territories, and emphasizes that Palestinian destiny should not come at Israel’s expense. He supports UN Resolution 242 as a basis for secure boundaries and predicts a future peace involves Arab willingness to negotiate, with the US UK and USSR aiding by encouraging talks. He comments on Jewish state revival, noting Israel’s independence and autonomous vitality.
