    The Haaretz newspaper reported that Netanyahu made the comments to Israeli reporters during a visit to Beijing Tuesday.

    It quoting him as acknowledging “difference of opinion” with the U.S. government on the issue and that he was “ready to discuss” limiting settlement construction in the West Bank and coming up with an “agreed-upon formula.”

    But the report quoted Netanyahu as saying that the issue of construction of East Jerusalem was not up for discussion.

    The Palestinians don’t want peace anyhow . Arafat yimach shimo proved that . So why not build.

    Even the satmar Reba zy a would agree that once the tzionim let the lions out if the cage they are uncontrollable . We cannot tame them . Thus we are safer via isolating them vs giving back land . Just imagine if we withdrew to pre 67 and had them on the other side of rechov Shmuel hanavi .
