Omani foreign minister tells Netanyahu of 'new era' in Middle East
“People in the Middle East have suffered a lot by sticking to the past. Now we are saying this is a new era for the future and for the prosperity of every nation,” said the Omani foreign minister.
Palestinian Authority officials are boycotting the conference, still dismissive of the administration since its moves last year to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the US Embassy there.While Kushner and Greenblatt will engage on the peace effort, Vice President Mike Pence and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will lead conversations on Iran, according to administration officials.US Vice President Mike Pence who addressed the gathering said, “Tonight I believe we are beginning a new era with Prime Minister Netanyahu from the State of Israel, with leaders from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE all breaking bread together and later in this conference sharing honest perspectives on the challenge facing the region.”“Poland and the US welcome this outward symbol of this gathering a symbol of cooperation and a hopeful sign of a brighter future that awaits nations across the Middle East,” Pence said.He added, “We are stronger together than we could ever be apart.”Iran is the primary threat to the future of regional peace/security. That’s what Palestinian leaders don’t grasp; as a consequence of being detached from new realities, we see Palestinians increasingly left behind/more isolated than ever. Very unfortunate for the Palestinians 3/3
