Pence: Israel PM, election rival invited to US next week to talk peace
JERUSALEM — Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his main political rival Benny Gantz would visit the White House to discuss the “prospect of peace” with the Palestinians.
“We just completed a conversation about plans for next week," Pence said after meeting the Israeli leader at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. “President Trump asked me to extend an invitation to Prime Minister Netanyahu to come to the White House next week to discuss regional issues as well as the prospect of peace here in the Holy Land."
Channel 12 TV, citing Israeli officials, said the plan is expected to be extremely favorable toward Israel, and offer it control over large parts of the occupied West Bank. The Palestinians seek the entire territory, captured by Israel in 1967, as the heartland of a future independent state. Most of the international community supports the Palestinian position.
