Israeli PM agrees to renew peace talks based on 1967 lines: report

[Guest]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is inclined to accept a renewal of peace talks with the Palestinians based on the 1967 lines, the Ma'ariv daily newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Netanyahu had reportedly relayed a message to that effect early Monday, as the Quartet of Middle East peace mediators convened in Washington to discuss ways of coaxing the Israeli and Palestinian leadership to return to the negotiating table.

The group, which includes Russia, the United States, the European Union and the United Nations, also wants to avert a diplomatic drama at the UN General Assembly in September, when the Palestinians are expected to obtain recognition for an independent state with partial membership in the organization.

With Israel's apprehension growing as September nears, Netanyahu will most likely agree to reenter talks in line with U.S. President Barack Obama's May 19 Middle East policy speech, in which he called for the renewal of negotiations on the borders of a future Palestinian state based on pre-1967 lines, with mutual land swaps.

Keep praying about this Israel's PM must be under head racking pressures
He needs the help from the "Most High God who rules over the affairs of mankind" and Him only must the Israeli's trust. Some trust in horses and some in chariots but they must trust in the Lord their God. Seriously, how hard is that in such a secular pressurized setting as they are in. Its like having the faith to step of a cliff that is very high. The stakes are so high right now.
