Prince refused to meet Jerusalem mayor in Jerusalem — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael’s Hadashot news reports that British Prince William refused to meet Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat in the capital.
According to the report, officials told Barkat he could meet William at a reception at the British ambassador’s residence in Ramat Gan, but he would not meet with him in Jerusalem.
Barkat refused the offer.
William is staying in Jerusalem during his three-day trip. On Thursday he is slated to visit the Old City, in what his office called the “Occupied Palestinian Territories,” raising Israeli anger.
William has spent much of his time in Tel Aviv and met with Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai during a stroll on the beach Tuesday.
