Pat Robertson's weekday news and spirituality program, ``The 700 Club,'' today will broadcast Robertson's interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Robertson, who is in Jerusalem, interviewed Netanyahu on Sunday about terrorism, the peace process in the Middle East, negotiations with the Palestinians and economic questions facing Israel.
As U.S. investigators seek the perpetrators of a recent bombing at the Olympics, Netanyahu called on the United States to take the lead in the fight against international terrorism.
``You need to have an American-led international effort against the regimes that are now committing international terrorism - especially against Americans here in the Middle East - and an American effort domestically to stamp out domestic types of terrorism,'' he said.
Netanyahu said the United States clearly has the capacity to dismantle domestic terrorist groups.
``You might have to look at some of your laws, as did Britain, as did France, as did any country faced with domestic terrorism,'' he said.
The first portion of Robertson's interview with Netanyahu aired on Monday. The second portion airs today.
``The 700 Club'' is broadcast daily at 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. on The Family Channel cable network. It also airs on WGNT, Channel 27, at 1 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. by CNB
