With pledges to assist the Israeli-Palestinian peace process if the Dominican Republic obtains a seat on the UN Security Council, President Leonel Fernandez brought the official part of his trip to Israel to a close. Fernandez made these comments during a meeting with speaker of the Knesset Reuven Rivlin.
Fernandez suggested that Israel should step up its efforts to establish closer relations with Latin America so the region may be more aware of the realities of the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
During their meeting, President Shimon Peres showed President Fernandez electric cars manufactured in Israel.
