Abbas says a meeting with Netanyahu in Moscow on Friday was ruled out when an aide to the prime minister suggested postponing the summit.

“Netanyahu’s representative proposed to delay this meeting to a later date. So the meeting will not happen, but I am ready and I declare again that I will go to any meeting,” Abbas says at a joint press conference in Warsaw with Polish President Andrzej Duda.
