an Israel's government build peace?

Israel's next Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said his government will be a "partner for peace" with the Palestinians. Will he be able to act on this pledge?

Correspondents say the right-winger is trying to temper his image as an opponent of the peace process.

Mr Netanyahu is under international pressure to commit to a peace formula based on the creation of a Palestinian state.

He was speaking at an economic conference in Jerusalem, a day after broadening what had been a narrow right-wing and far right coalition to include the centre-left Labour party.

Can there be peace between Israel and the Palestinians? What impact will the new Israeli government have? What do you make of Labour's decision to join the coalition? Are you in the region?
