\r\n\tIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin have turned down invitations to meet with former US president Jimmy Carter during his upcoming visit to Israel over his “anti-Israel” views.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tA senior Israeli diplomatic official told Channel 10 that Carter is “a disaster for Israel,” and that all Israeli leaders should refrain from meeting the former president, due to his “anti-Israel positions.”<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe official was also quoted as saying that while Netanyahu and Rivlin refused to meet with him, Israel had approved Carter’s request to visit the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tCarter will reportedly arrive sometime in the next 10 days for meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tIn recent years, Carter has become an increasingly outspoken critic of Israel’s policies and of Netanyahu.<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2015-04-21 21:58:52","content_date_finish":"2015-04-21 21:58:52","content_date_register":"2015-04-21 21:58:52","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"124780","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"1364777106","attach_date_register":"2015-04-21 21:58:56","attach_id":"127313","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"450","attach_img_height":"289","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"142","visit_date_last":"2025-05-10 21:09:38","attach_title":"Netanyahu, Rivlin refuse to meet with Carter","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
