MK Nachman Shai (Zionist Union), a member of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and chairman of the Israel-U.S. Relations Lobby in the Knesset, commented on Wednesday evening on the meeting between President Donald Trump and Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
"Trump opens a narrow but important opening for negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. He works gently, but with determination and consistency. Israel should immediately respond positively, adopt the new moves of the United States and stand by the president in this initiative," said Shai.
MK Shai added, "In no way should we be portrayed as we have done in recent years as peace refuseniks and say 'no' automatically."
