PM, Shoukry meeting ends, had ‘very good atmosphere’

The meeting between Netanyahu and Shoukry in Jerusalem ends, with an Israeli diplomatic official telling The Times of Israel that the talks were held in “a very good atmosphere.”

The two men discussed various issues, chiefly the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and regional developments, the official adds.

He says Netanyahu raised the issue of the missing Israelis held in Gaza and asked for Cairo’s help in returning them to Israel, to which Shoukry responded affirmatively.

The two are set to meet again at 8:30 p.m. for dinner at the prime minister’s official Jerusalem residence on Balfour Street.
