"Israel PM Netanyahu 'ready for peace talks'
Israel is ready "to immediately begin" peace talks with the Palestinians and Syria, PM Benjamin Netanyahu has said after returning from the US.
But he insisted that any peace settlement "must find a solution to Israel's security needs".
Arab states should join talks, he said, but would need to make concessions as well as Israel and the Palestinians.
At the talks on Monday, Mr Netanyahu was pressed by President Barack Obama over US plans on a two-state solution.
But the Israeli leader - who also came under pressure to rein in Israeli settlement-building - refrained from endorsing the idea.
Instead he said Israel was ready to live "side by side" with the Palestinians." (more)
