JERUSALEM: Israel's premier said on Thursday he is ready to start direct Middle East talks within days after Arab officials agreed to such negotiations but left the timing up to the Palestinians.
"In response to the Arab League decision, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he is ready to start, already in the next few days, direct and frank talks with the Palestinian Authority," his office said.
"The prime minister added that through direct negotiations it is possible to reach a peace agreement between the two nations in the near future."
