EU backs Obama?s call for Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty based on 1967 borders

Addressing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Sunday, the U.S President, Barack Obama, repeated that Israel's pre-1967 borders should be the basis for a peace deal, but that the final borders could be adjusted to accommodate "new demographic realities."
