Graham: '67 Borders a 'Mistake'

The Hill reports:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called President Obama’s call for a return to the 1967 Israeli-Palestinian borders a “mistake.”

“Anytime our president singles out an issue, it makes it more difficult, in my view, to have a comprehensive negotiation, so I quite frankly think it was a mistake,” Graham told reporters Thursday afternoon.

Graham said Obama is not paying sufficient heed to other elements of the peace negotiations by focusing on the borders.

“I think what is a mistake is for us to talk about the borders and land swaps,” Graham said.
