Palestinians say Abbas wasn’t invited to direct talks with Netanyahu
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe spokesman for the Palestinian Authority Presidency says Abbas never got an invitation to direct talks with Netanyahu, apparently proposed by French President Francois Hollande to take place on the sidelines on the French peace conference later this month.
“Palestinians have received neither an official invitation to attend the French-sponsored international peace conference nor any other meeting,” Nabil Abu Rudeineh says, according to official PA mouthpiece WAFA.
However, he says Ramallah supports the French peace effort.
Netanyahu called Hollande to say he was open to talks without preconditions, but not during the conference, which Israel rejects in favor of direct talks.
