Industry, Trade and Labor Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said during a tour of the Gilboa crossing and a future joint Israeli-Palestinian industrial zone that he is optimistic ahead of the direct talks, slated to be launched on Thursday.
Ben-Eliezer added that "our partners in the negotiations, together with the moderate Arab world, understand that the changes taking place in the Middle East with the Iranian nuclearization process require us to end the Palestinian issue as soon as possible." (Attila Somfalvi)
