Netanyahu says he’s willing to meet Abbas in Moscow
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Mikhail Bogdanov, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Middle East envoy, in Jerusalem.
According to an email from the Government Press Office, “the two discussed the possibility of coordinating a meeting” between Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Moscow, a proposal floated by Putin.
“The prime minister presented Israel’s position that he is always ready to meet with President Abbas directly and without preconditions,” the email says. “He is therefore reviewing the Russian president’s proposal and the timing of a possible meeting.”
Abbas yesterday railed at foreign pressure on the PA, and Moscow was among a number of state actors whose undue “influence” he decried.
