"Negotiations are the only way toward a comprehensive and lasting resolution to the conflict," the leaders of US, Britain, Germany, France, Canada, Italy and Russia said. "To that effect, we express our strong support for the vision of Israeli-Palestinian peace outlined by President Obama on May 19, 2011."

The Group of Eight leaders said that "aspirations of the peoples in the region need to be heeded, including that of the Palestinians for a viable sovereign State and that of the Israelis for security and regional integration."

"The time to resume the peace process is now," the statement read.

G8 leaders omit mention of 1967 borders in Middle East statement

Diplomats say that Canada objected to a specific mention of the 1967 borders in statement issued by world leaders calling for resumption of Israel-Palestinian peace talks.

Group of Eight leaders had to soften a statement urging Israel and the Palestinians to
return to negotiations because Canada objected to a specific mention of 1967 borders, diplomats said on Friday.

Canada's right-leaning Conservative government has adopted a staunchly pro-Israel position in international negotiations since coming to power in 2006, with Prime Minister Stephen Harper saying Canada will back Israel whatever the cost.

Canada's strong backing for Israel was cited by diplomats last year as one reason why Ottawa failed to win a rotating two-year seat on the United Nations Security Council.

Harper has made is position on Israel very clear, saying last year: "When Israel, the only country in the world whose very existence is under attack, is consistently and conspicuously singled out for condemnation, I believe we are morally obligated to take a stand."

Harper for President! Oh wait. He's a foreigner. Oh wait again. That doesn't seem to matter in this country.
