يتناول برنامج بانوراما الخلافات العربية في الجامعة العربية وانتخابات مصر القادمة .[ph_154747]"If the Palestinian leadership will unequivocally say to its people that it recognizes Israel as the national state of the Jewish people, I will be ready to convene my cabinet and ask for another moratorium on building," Netanyahu said."I have already passed on the message through quiet channels and I am now saying it in public," he told MPs in a live televised address at the opening of the winter session of the Knesset, or parliament.Despite huge diplomatic pressure to re-impose the freeze, Netanyahu has refused to do so, instead urging the Palestinians not to abandon the talks. "What could convince the government, and more so the citizens of Israel, that the Palestinians are truly ready to live with us in peace?" "Something that would signal a real change on the Palestinian side?" Netanyahu asked, saying such a step would be taken as proof of the Palestinians' genuine intentions towards Israel. Recognition of Israel as a Jewish state has become one of Netanyahu's key demands in any peace deal with the Palestinians. The Palestinians already recognize Israel as a state but have rejected the demand to recognize its Jewish character because that would amount to an effective renunciation of their cherished right of return for refugees from the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.Netanyahu announced the offer three days after the Palestinians and Arab powers gave Washington a month to persuade Israel to renew a 10-month moratorium on settlement housing starts that expired on Sept. 26.He also cited the need for strong measures to ensure Israel's security under any peace deal.He said Israel was weighing U.S. proposals, including ideas touching on security, to salvage the negotiations.A senior Israeli official has said Washington is seeking a two-month extension of the settlement building moratorium to give more time for direct diplomacy.Palestinians view settlements, on land Israel occupied in a 1967 war, as an obstacle to the establishment of a viable and contiguous state.Netanyahu has made recognition of Israel as a Jewish state a centre-piece of his government's policy.Palestinians fear such a move could impede the rights of Palestinian refugees, who fled or were forced out of their homes in Israeli-Arab wars, to return to territory that is now Israel.
