WASHINGTON - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday again rejected US President Barack Obama's vision of a Middle East peace deal based on the country's "indefensible" 1967 borders.

Netanyahu, speaking to Washington's most powerful pro-Israel lobbying group, said he planned to outline in a speech to Congress on Tuesday his own vision for an eventual peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

"It must leave Israel with security, and therefore Israel cannot return to the indefensible 1967 lines," Netanyahu said.
