PA source: Netanyahu meeting would have to ‘advance peace’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA source in PA president’s office reiterates to The Times of Israel that Abbas has not agreed to a meeting with Netanyahu in Moscow, despite reports to that effect in Russian media.
He says he doesn’t not know why Russian sources reported Abbas had agreed to such a meeting, implying Abbas had waived the Palestinians’ longstanding preconditions. (The PA leader has repeatedly insisted on the completion of a prisoner release agreed upon during negotiations in 2014, as well as a complete settlement freeze.)
We don’t want “a meeting just for the sake of a meeting, but something to advance the peace process,” the source says.
