I’ll be honest, Netanyahu gives me Chris Matthews-like leg thrills.

(The Hill) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday once again rejected President Obama’s call to base the borders of a Palestinian state on those existing in 1967.

Addressing delegates of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Netanyahu said a peace deal is a top priority of the Israeli government, but he also drew a sharp line in the sand regarding such an agreement.

“I want to assure you of one thing: It must leave Israel with security, and therefore Israel cannot return to the indefensible 1967 lines,” he said to rousing applause from thousands of pro-Israel activists.

Netanyahu, who is scheduled to address a joint meeting of Congress Tuesday morning, said he’ll describe then “what a peace between a Palestinian state and a Jewish state could look like.”
