Dear Itai,

Sorry to hear that. We hope that perhaps we can reschedule our meeting. I hope you’ll be able to make it today and that this has no bearing on your resolution.

Sincerely,

Dave

Dear Dave,

The Israeli delegation is in Amman waiting for approval from Abu Dhabi that we can board the plane without a Visa. So far we have no information. The UN said they've spoken to the Deputy Minister of foreign affairs and he will make sure we get the approval soon. Our concern is that we will be forced to return home if they don't receive the approval very soon.

Best

Nurit
