Al-Sheikh said that during the meeting he sent a message to Lapid from Palestinian President Abu Mazen, according to which he believes in a political solution with Israel that will be reached in negotiations and believes that there is great importance to a political horizon between Israel and the Palestinians



. "It is true that we are talking about security, the economy and civic issues, but it is important that there is a political umbrella for everything we do," he said.

Without this, the situation would be very difficult. "



According to al-Sheikh Lapid, he emphasized that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is aware of the meeting and does not oppose it. "But I do not want to go into details," al-Sheikh said.

The Palestinian minister noted that he had raised with Lapid the violent attacks by settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank.

According to him, Lapid raised the issue of the Palestinian prosecution against Israel in the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Al-Sheikh noted that he and Lapid also discussed the state of the coalition in Israel and the political developments within the PLO, the situation in the Arab world and relations with the United States.



"There was a positive meeting that could be built on and we agreed that there would be follow-up meetings," the Palestinian minister said.

"What is important to remember is that Israel's problem is not with Mauritania but with the Palestinians. If you do not talk to the Palestinians, then who are you talking to? Negotiations are being made with those with whom you do not agree.
