Japanese FM invites Netanyahu to Tokyo meet with Abbas
Visiting Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono has invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a four-way meeting in Tokyo with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and US envoy Jared Kushner, Channel 10 reports.
Quoting a senior official, the channel’s diplomatic correspondent Barak Ravid says that Netanyahu responded positively, but conditioned it on US agreement.
The Walla news site also reported the offer.
The Palestinians have refused to deal with the Americans since US President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
