Kerry to visit Israel on Friday: Netanyahu

US Secretary of State John Kerry is to visit Israel on Friday to discuss the Iranian nuclear talks and peace with the Palestinians, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Speaking to his ministers, Netanyahu said he would also discuss the Iran talks with French President Francois Hollande, after he arrived in Israel yesterday, as well as with Russian President Vladimir Putin when he travels to meet him in Moscow on Wednesday.
“We will also do that with the American Secretary of State John Kerry, who arrives here on Friday,” the Israeli premier said, quoted by his office after a weekly meeting of his cabinet.
“I hope we’ll be able to convince our friends this week and in the following days to get a much better deal. It can be achieved,” he said in remarks ahead of a new round of talks in Geneva between world powers and Iran from November 20.
“Iran is under economic pressure, and continuing to apply pressure and even increasing it can yield a much better diplomatic result.”
Netanyahu said he and Kerry would also discuss the ongoing direct peace talks with the Palestinians.
