JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s prime minister has distanced himself from a closed-door meeting that took place last week between Israel’s chief peace negotiator and the Palestinian president following the collapse of peace talks, an Israeli official said Sunday.
The official said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told negotiator Tzipi Livni she could only represent herself in the meeting, not the Israeli government. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment publicly on the matter.
