Benjamin Netanyahu said he would move Israel�s security barrier deeper inside the West Bank.
The Likud Party leader was the third of the three candidates in Israel�s March 28 elections to address this year�s American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference.
Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of the Kadima Party and Amir Peretz of Labor both said they would cut off a Hamas-led Palestinian Authority but would seek moderates with whom to deal, and Olmert said he was ready to unilaterally withdraw from some West Bank territory. Netanyahu suggested Israel should assume control of more territory, saying a Hamas-controlled West Bank posed dangers to Israel�s population centers and to Ben-Gurion Airport.
Shoulder-fired rockets �cannot and should not reach any aircraft,� he said to applause Tuesday.
Netanyahu also said Hamas is irredeemably opposed to Israel, and that he hoped to topple the group from power through diplomatic isolation.
