Likud Minister Ayoub Kara is holding a series of meetings with Arab officials in the Ecuadorian capital city of Quito to discuss Trump’s initiative to restart the peace process.
Kara, along with Israel’s ambassador to Ecuador, Edwin Yabu, has so far met with representatives from Oman, Qatar, Yemen and the president of the Sahrawi Republic of southern Morocco, Abdelkader Taleb Omar.
In a statement, Kara says the meetings were “open and cordial,” and that all sides “expressed their approval to move forward with the political negotiations.”
Kara also spoke with the presidents of Ecuador, Colombia, Guatemala, Paraguay and urged them to join Israel in its fight against terrorism.
“President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu are coordinating every step of this political initiative, and there is progress on the issue,” the statement says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
