This Sunday on “Meet the Press” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of the current situation in Iran, as well issues regarding Middle East peace.

Concerning Iran, Netanyahu commented: “Obviously, you see a regime that represses its own people and spreads terror far and wide.  It is a, a regime whose real nature has been unmasked, and it’s been unmasked by incredible acts of courage by Iran’s citizens. They go into the streets, they face bullets.  And I tell you, as somebody who believes deeply in democracy, that you see the Iranian lack of democracy at work.  And I think this better explains and best explains to the entire world what this regime is truly about.”

When Mr. Gregory brought the issues around to Israeli-Palestinian peace, Netanyahu remarked: “I gave a speech in which I gave out the winning formula for peace, which is a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes Israel as the state of the Jewish people.  And these two elements of recognition of Israel as a state of the Jewish people and a demilitarized Palestinian state I think is something that all people who want peace should unite around… What I’m suggesting is that if we’re asked to recognize the Palestinian state as the nation-state of the Palestinian people, then the Palestinians should recognize Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, who’ve been deprived of a land of their own and of security for so long.”
