Jewish immigration in the transition period on the
other, we will ensure an absolute Hebrew majority

"Netanyahu Urges U.S. Return to 1845 Borders"

Israeli PM calls for "just solution" to end the conflict.

Aboard Air Force Aleph (Reuters) - Speaking to reporters
accompanying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
on his long flight to the United States tonight, Netanyahu
spoke of the injustice and hardship Mexicans have
endured since American forces annexed Texas in 1845.
"Tens of thousands of ordinary Mexicans were driven out
of their homes - the only homes they had known for
centuries - and forced to live in poverty and squalor
south of the border imposed by American aggression,"
Netanyahu said.
 
"The Israeli and Mexican people agree on this: This
festering wound will never heal until America takes
bold steps to return to the internationally accepted
lines of 1845. Clearly the settlement activity that's taken
place in occupied Mexico since then is illegal. When I
meet the President tomorrow I will tell him to halt all
building activity in Texas immediately. Two lands for
two peoples, yes, but not on land taken by force from
Mexico," the Prime Minister said.
 
Asked if his hard-line stance could hurt the U.S.-Israel
relationship, Netanyahu reiterated Israel's commitment
to America's security and the unshakeable friendship
shared by the two countries, then added, "But who
was it who said, part of friendship is being able to tell
your friend the truth. The ball is now in Obama's court."
