Government ministers did not approve negotiations for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit to Washington, in an unusual move, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The type of negotiations and the reason for the refusal were not specified.
The report, attributed to i24NEWS journalist Amichai Stein, states that ministers withheld approval for negotiations during the PM's visit to Washington. The development comes amid shifting diplomatic engagements; as The Zioneer previously reported (July 23), Netanyahu cancelled a planned US trip due to security escalation. The current report does not clarify whether the visit is still scheduled or relates to a different diplomatic track. The details of the negotiations ministers declined to approve remain undisclosed.
