JERUSALEM – Israel's incoming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will seek "full peace" with the entire Arab and Muslim world.

Netanyahu made the comments in a speech to parliament Tuesday before he was to be sworn into office.

He told lawmakers that radical Islam and the Iranian regime in Tehran are major threats to regional security. But he praised Islam as a rich religion and said he seeks a broad peace with the Muslim world.

Netanyahu led his Likud Party to a strong showing in recent elections with a campaign that was highly critical of past peace talks. His speech Tuesday appeared to be aimed at easing international concerns that he will end peace efforts.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The new government taking power in Israel Tuesday supports expanded Jewish settlement in the West Bank and does not explicitly endorse an independent Palestinian state, a course that could put the country at odds with the Obama administration.

Western officials are also concerned about incoming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's choice for foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, whose proposal to put citizens to loyalty tests is widely seen as a racist attack on Israel's Arab minority.
