Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met on Monday morning with Belgium’s Foreign Minister, Didier Rynders, in Jerusalem. The two discussed relations between the two countries.

The Belgian FM thanked Netanyahu for Israel’s aid in the aftermath of the Brussels terror attacks, and discussed with him the threat of Islamic extremism in the Middle East and Europe. Netanyahu emphasized that the French initiative for a peace conference will enable the PA to avoid direct talks, and will therefore distance the possibility of peace.
