Omani official meets Netanyahu, sees 'new era'
Israel's prime minister has held a rare public meeting with the foreign minister of the Gulf Arab state of Oman at a U.S.-sponsored Mideast conference in Poland.
In a video released by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, the Omani foreign minister, Yusuf bin Alawi, said people in the Middle East have "suffered a lot" because they stick to the past. He said Wednesday's meeting reflects a "new era" for the region.
Netanyahu paid a surprise visit to Oman in November, calling it a "courageous decision" by the country's sultan to invite him.
