UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the U.N. General Assembly on Friday that he was reaching out to the Palestinian people but cautioned that peace could not be won with a U.N. resolution.
"I extend my hand to the Palestinian people," he told the 193-nation assembly, shortly after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas submitted an application for full U.N. membership to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon despite Israeli and U.S. objections.
"The truth is that Israel wants peace, the truth is that I want peace," he said, adding that "we cannot achieve peace through U.N. resolutions."
"The Palestinians should first make peace with Israel and then get their state," he said.
Netanyahu added that if there was such a peace, "Israel will not be the last state to welcome a Palestinian state into the United Nations. We will be the first."
It was also time for the Palestinians to acknowledge that "Israel is the Jewish state," he told the assembly.
He also made an appeal to Abbas for direct peace talks with the Palestinians to begin without delay in New York.
"Let's meet here today in the United Nations," Netanyahu said.
Direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians collapsed a year ago. The Palestinians pulled out after Israel refused to extend a moratorium on new Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

How disingenuous can you get? Netanyahu says “The truth is that Israel wants peace, the truth is that I want peace”. All he has to do is freeze settlement building on illegally occupied land (as international law demands also). Is that really too much to ask? That’s all it will take for negotiations to restart, something the Palestinians genuinely want. His total intransigence and refusal to freeze any settlement building shows Netanyahu’s total duplicity.
This could have been and should have been an excellent opportunity for Israel, to benefit from the Arab Spring. Netanyahu may go down in history as the worst Prime Minister in Israel’s history.
