Netanyahu proposal is hard to implement, said Indonesian Foreign Minister

Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda said that the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin NetanyahuBenjamin Netanyahu proposal who said that Israel would agree to a demilitarized Palestinian state is hard to implement and would make more difficult on another negotiations steps.

‘’Those proposal are to implement and would make more difficult to open a newly step of negotiations on both side to talk about peace agreement,’’ said Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda in Jakarta.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would agree to a demilitarized Palestinian state. In a major foreign policy address Sunday at Bar-Ilan University, Netanyahu also said the Palestinians to have a state must recognize Israel as a Jewish state. "It is impossible to agree on the principle of a Palestinian state without these" conditions, he said.

Netanyahu added that, If Israel receives assurances that the two conditions are met, Netanyahu said, "we will be ready in the future" for a "demilitarized Palestinian state that exists alongside a Jewish state." Such a demilitarized state, he said, could not import weapons, make pacts with enemies of Israel and would not be able to close its airspace to Israel.

Hassan Wirajuda hope that both side will open again their newly negotiations to talk about peace agreement, even Israel propose those conditions. ‘’In the negotiations, some times each side proposed a maximum conditions which hard to implement, event other side know that this conditions is hard to implement. But, I hope that both side agree to open again they newly negotiations,’’ Hassan added.

Such a demilitarized state, he said, could not import weapons, make pacts with enemies of Israel and would not be able to close its airspace to Israel.

Netanyahu also called for immediate peace talks with Palestinian leaders, without preconditions. "We want both Israeli and Palestinian children to live without war," he said, citing the root of conflict to the refusal of regional entities to accept Israel as Jewish state. "We must ask ourselves, why has peace not yet arrived after 60 years?"

Netanyahu, whose Bar-Ilan address was called a response to President Obama's Cairo speech earlier this month in which the U.S. leader tried to reach out to the world's Muslims, said he was prepared to meet with the leaders of neighboring Arab countries at any time to promote regional peace.

"We want peace in Damascus, in Riyadh, in Beirut, and also in Jerusalem," he said. In another portion of the speech that was closely watched at the White House, Netanyahu said that Israel had no intention of creating new West Bank settlements or expanding existing towns, but said there is a "need to allow residents to live normal lives." The Israeli leader did not expound.

The United States has demanded all settlement activity be stopped, including "natural growth." Netanyahu added that settlers are not "enemies of peace" but "are our brothers."

The White House welcomed Netanyahu's speech as an “important step forward." "The President is committed to two states, a Jewish state of Israel and an independent Palestine, in the historic homeland of both peoples," said a statement from White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. "He believes this solution can and must ensure both Israel's security and the fulfillment of the Palestinians' legitimate aspirations for a viable state, and he welcomes Prime Minister Netanyahu's endorsement of that goal."
