JERUSALEM – Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz met Jordan's King Abdullah on Wednesday to discuss regional stability, Gantz's office said.
At peace since 1994, the neighbors' relations have long been strained by stagnant Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking.
Wednesday's talks took place in Jordan, according to the Israeli statement.
