Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is to arrive in Israel on Tuesday evening for two days as part of a regional tour.
The Globes financial publication said he will proceed from the airport to Ramallah for a meeting with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and visit a Japanese sponsored industrial area in Jericho on Wednesday morning before an afternoon meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. While Abe said peace talks were a priority, he will be accompanied by a large business delegation exploring economic opportunities in Israel.
