The Jerusalem Post published an article devoted to the Israeli-Iranian relations headlined "Netanyahu says if Rouhani agrees to recognize Israel, he would consider meeting him."
"Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu may not meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland next week, but if Tehran says it is willing to recognize Israel, Netanyahu might consider a meeting," the article begins.
"If Rouhani said 'we recognize the Jewish state. We, Iran, are prepared to have peace with Israel, Israel would be here forever,' well that would peak my interest, in Davos or anywhere else," Netanyahu is quoted as saying by the newspaper.
The authors of the article note that the head of the Israeli cabinet asserted that the Middle East is undergoing change in which "many of the Arab countries see Israel not as an enemy, but as a friend," despite the fact many don't say so openly.
