Warm welcome for PM Netanyahu at AIPAC,"I share with Obama the same common quest for Peace and Security"

In a short address early morning in Jerusalem PM Netanyahu addressed the delegates gathered at the AIPAC conference, "We want peace with the Arab world and We want Peace with the Palestinians" the PM said, "6 Prime Ministers and 2 US Presidents have not succeeded in achieving this Final peace settlement, i Believe its possible to achieve it, But it requires a fresh approach, and the fresh approach that i suggest is by pursuing a triple track towards Peace between Israel and the Palestinians, a Political track, a Security track and a Economic track".

"The Political track means that we are prepared to resume peace negotiations without any Delay and with out any pre conditions, The sooner the better, The security track means that we want to continue to strengthen the security of the Palestinians, The Economic track means that we are ready to work together to remove as many obstacles that we can to build the Palestinian Economy, as a booster, i want to see the Palestinians youngsters to know they have a Future.... i want them to have Jobs....this means we can give them a Future of Hope, a Future that means that there is Prosperity for All".

"I believe that this Triple track to Peace is the Realistic Path to Peace, and I believe that with Cooperation of President Obama , and President Abbas , we can defy the skeptics, and we can Surprise the World".

While Netanyahu didn't mention or promise a commitment to the 2 state solution, he did repeat his Demand of the PA recognition of Israel as the Jewish State: "Peace will not come without security, so i want to be very clear we should never compromise on Israel's Security , and for a Final peace settlement to be achieved the Palestinians must recognize Israel as the Jewish State, they must recognize Israel as The Nation State of the Jewish people.

Netanyahu also addressed the main issue concerning the Government - the Iranian danger of developing Nuclear weapons that threaten Israel and the World,"There is something happening today in the Middle East, and I can say that rot the first time in my lifetime and For the first time in a Century that Arabs and Jews see a common danger..... there is a great challenge, and that challenge presents great opportunities, the common danger is echoed by Arab leaders, its echoed by Israel, by the Europeans, by many responsible Governments around the world,I can put it in one sentence - Iran must not be allowed to develop Nuclear weapons".
