Palestine: Abbas receives Israeli delegation in Ramallah

RAMALLAH, 06 October 2021, (TON): Sources on both sides said that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met an Israeli government delegation in Ramallah on Sunday evening, the second meeting between the two sides in a month.

Abbas received Israel’s Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz, Regional Cooperation Minister Issawi Freij and deputy Michal Rozin, all from the left-wing Meretz party, part of the ruling coalition.

The territory’s official news agency WAFA reported “the president underlined the importance of ending the Israeli occupation and achieving a just and global peace conforming to international resolutions.”

Abbas also stressed the need to put an end to the settlements, and to end the expulsion of Palestinian families from different parts of East Jerusalem.

The Meretz members reiterated their support for a two-state solution to the conflict, for an independent Palestinian state and the need to build trust between the two sides.

“We have a common mission,” Horowitz wrote later on Twitter.
