Netanyahu Announces Plans for Major Policy Address


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will soon deliver a major speech that outlines his policies on peace and security.

Mr. Netanyahu told his Cabinet Sunday that he will deliver the speech "next week," but he did not provide an exact date.

The prime minister said his government intends to achieve peace with the Palestinians and Arab countries, while attempting to reach an understanding with the United States.

U.S. President Barack Obama has asked Israel to stop all settlement construction as a step toward negotiating peace with the Palestinians. Mr. Netanyahu has called that demand unreasonable.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday that any deal allowing for settlement expansion would contradict Israel's obligations under the internationally backed "road map" to Middle East peace.
