Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to insist on retaining large swaths of the occupied West Bank under any future peace deal with Palestinians. Speaking before the annual summit of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Netanyahu repeated his line that Israel’s internationally recognized 1967 borders are “indefensible.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “We can only make peace with the Palestinians if they’re prepared to make peace with a Jewish state. Tomorrow in Congress, I’ll describe what a peace between a Palestinian state and a Jewish state could look like, but I want to assure you of one thing: it must leave Israel with security, and therefore Israel cannot return to the indefensible 1967 lines.”

Netanyahu was interrupted several times by peace activists with the group Move Over AIPAC. Some of the protesters were assaulted after unfurling banners and chanting “occupying land is indefensible.”

Protester: “Occupying land is indefensible! Occupying land is indefensible!”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Do you think they have these protests in Gaza? What a way to get a standing ovation! Thank you.”
