DM Gantz met the UN's special coordinator to the Middle East peace process, Nickolay Mladenov today.

"Appreciated the opportunity to thank him for helping facilitate the resumption of coordination w/the PA, and also to discuss Hamas’ violation of our sovereignty in the south," wrote Gantz on Twitter.

"I stressed that the State of Israel is prepared to arrive at a solution and contribute to improved conditions for the residents of Gaza if we can come to an understanding on a long-term agreement and return of Israeli MIA's," he added.
