Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has visited the gulf state of Oman, in what is believed to be the first meeting of its kind for over two decades.
Mr Netanyahu and his wife Sarah met Sultan Qaboos bin Said, the monarch of the Muslim country, on Friday, with the Prime Minister’s office saying that the Sultan had extended the invitation “after lengthy contacts between the two countries.”
Topics discussed included “ways to advance the peace process in the Middle East, as well as several matters of joint interest regarding the achievement of peace and stability in the Middle East,” a joint statement said.
