(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner and Elior Levy - Israeli Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon met Sunday with Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah in Ramallah. U.S. Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt tweeted Monday that the meeting yielded "meaningful steps forward on key economic issues - revenues, customs and investment - that help support the search for peace." A senior White House official said Sunday that President Trump has stressed repeatedly that peace between Israel and the Palestinians can only be achieved through direct negotiations and that the U.S. will continue close cooperation with the two parties to achieve that end. "No deal will be forced on the Israelis and Palestinians. We're committed to moving forward with this deal because it will improve conditions for both sides."
