Palestinian Authority FM: We’re ready for dialogue with any future Israeli PM (Times of Israel)
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Wednesday he would be against a new Israeli government led by Benjamin Netanyahu, after elections left Netanyahu tied with his main challenger and raised the prospect of negotiations to build a unity government.
“Our position: against Netanyahu,” Abbas said during a visit to Oslo when questioned over his preferences for a new Israeli government.
His comments come after his foreign minister said the Palestinians would be prepared to engage in dialogue with any future Israeli leader.
