In a meeting with Costa Rica’s Foreign Minister González Sanz, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls on the Central American nation to support Israel at the United Nations.
“I am very pleased that we have the opportunity to meet and strengthen the friendship between Costa Rica and Israel,” the prime minister tells Sanz according to a press release from Netanyahu’s office.
He tells Sanz the stagnated peace process is due to the Palestinians’ refusal to accept the existence of a Jewish state.
Netanyahu urges Costa Rica to vote against future anti-Israel resolutions at the UN.
Sanz in response tells Netanyahu that San Jose is interested in strengthening ties with Israel, and would consider changing its voting pattern at the world body.
Netanyahu and Sanz discuss increasing bilateral cooperation in the areas of tourism, homeland security, water and agriculture.
