RAMALLAH: President Mahmoud Abbas’ office said Monday the Palestinians are ready to participate in any peace initiative aimed at a “comprehensive and fair solution,” following speculation of a meeting organized by Russia.
“We are ready to participate in any regional or international initiative with the objective of a comprehensive and fair solution,” presidency spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina said in a statement.
There has been talk of a possible meeting between Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be organized by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
A Kremlin spokesman said Monday there was “nothing concrete” yet on such a meeting.
In an interview published last week, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said Putin wanted to host an Israeli-Palestinian summit to revive peace talks.
France has also been working on its own peace initiative and hopes to convene an international conference before the end of the year.
