Islam Times - Palestinians MPs Visit Zionist Knesset for First Time Ever

Islam Times - Palestinian officials visited for the first time ever on Wednesday “Israel's” Parliament to meet their “Israeli” counterparts, as the Palestinian flag was raised inside the Knesset during the meeting, AFP reported.

AFP quoted Head of the Palestinian delegation and member Abbas's Fatah party Mohammad Al-Madani as saying that “the meeting attended by us on behalf of President Mahmoud Abbas was positive.”

“We talked about how to make the peace process succeed and about the Arab initiative and the dangers of the process collapsing," he further told the news agency.

The meeting took place between current and former “Israeli” MPs, including members of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party and secular centrist Yesh Atid, which is in the ruling coalition.

“Israeli” Labour Party member Hilik Bar said "this meeting is to support Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Abbas, and the negotiators in Washington."
