Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu – notorious right winger - said this weekend that he is ready for immediate peace talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The latter, on the other hand, already said he sees no reason to accept the invitation.
“I call again on the Palestinian leadership in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank], to the leaders of the Palestinian Authority, let us meet. Let us make peace, diplomatic peace and economic peace,” Netanyahu said.
“There is no reason for Abu Mazen and myself not to meet anywhere in the country,” he added. “Since we are here in Be’er Sheva, I say to him: Let us meet here and begin to advance peace for the benefit of both our peoples.”
