JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli newspaper says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has offered to renew peace talks with the Palestinians.
Haaretz reports Monday that Netanyahu told European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini he hopes to reach agreements on future borders and which Jewish settlements will remain inside Israel.
Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war. The Palestinians seek it for their future state and say all Israeli construction on occupied land is illegal — a position with wide international support.
Netanyahu, at a minimum, wants to keep major settlement blocs within Israel’s separation barrier.
Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki says Netanyahu is “trying to deceive the world with his meaningless talk.”

Bad acting from the bad actor.
Yep. he wants to keep talking for another 50 years while more land and resources are stolen, more “lawns are mowed”, and more “diets” are enforced.
Talk is cheap. All this war criminal is doing is doing is trying to put off momentum for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction movement. Besides, his razor-thin coalition with the most extremist of Israeli political parties allows no room for deviation from their apartheid policies.
Who actually believes this inveterate liar, anyway?
Here comes Lucy with the football, again.
