Israel's prime minister assured to present his vision for an Israeli-Palestinian peace in a talking before U.S. lawmakers on Tuesday, but vowed his country would not go back to mid-1967 borders that he termed "hard to defend."
Benjamin Netanyahu made this pledge in an address Monday to thousands of pro-Israel American Jews and U.S. lawmakers. His language drew roaring cheers and standing ovations, a sign of the commanding backing he enjoys in the U.S. as the White House pressure him to do more to refurbish stalled Mideast peacemaking.
The warm reception Netanyahu enjoy at the gala dinner of the American Israel Public Affairs commission contrast piercingly with the contentious quality of some of his new interactions with President Barack Obama accurately over border issues.
