Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the beginning of the Likud faction meeting Monday that "since the instatement of the government I have been calling for a resumption of negotiations with the Palestinians with no preconditions. I believe that the negotiations for the very start of negotiations have delayed us long enough."
Netanyahu further noted, "I discerned a certain change of atmosphere in the recent weeks. I hope that we have reached maturation in jumpstarting the political process. I want to make it clear: My positions haven't changed." (Attila Somfalvi and Amnon Meranda)
