Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that he is ready for "a historic compromise" to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict "once and for all," but stressed that peace is a "two-way street."

Speaking to the Saban Forum of the Brookings Institution, the prime minister asserted that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not the source of the Middle East's problems.

Offering a laundry list of problems facing the region, Netanyahu suggested putting the conflict in perspective - but said that peace was vital nevertheless, primarily for Israelis and Palestinians themselves, referring to a final-status agreement as a "strategic goal" of his office.
