Netanyahu says Abbas needs to meet with US on peace

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says talks with Pence will revolve around security and peace negotiations.

He once again chides Ramallah for refusing to meet with Pence and advance peace talks.

“I have a message for [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud] Abbas: There is no alternative to American leadership in the diplomatic process. Whoever is not ready to talk with the Americans on peace does not want peace,” he says.

He also repeats his warning to European states to take Trump’s words on backing off the Iran deal seriously.

“If they want to keep the deal with Iran, they need to put forward fixes to the agreement, fixes which will prevent the country from going nuclear, which threatens themselves and the whole world,” he adds.
