Baku-APA. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Germany next week to discuss the recent spate of violence between Israel and Palestinians in which 39 people have been killed, the Israeli ambassador to Washington said on Friday, APA reports quoting Reuters.
Kerry, who has said he planned to go to the Middle East soon to try to calm the violence, was traveling to Europe on Friday. Israel's ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, confirmed the planned meeting in Germany during an interview with CNN.
"That discussion will be, 'OK, how do we get back to where we were in order to calm things down,'" Dermer said.
A spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said earlier on Friday that Netanyahu will travel to Germany on Wednesday for talks with Merkel on the security situation in Israel and the wider Middle East.
