Netanyahu's spokesman, Mark Regev, said: "We had good meetings in which substantive issues were discussed including the future of the [settlement] freeze."
It says a lot that they are talking about the freeze and not the settlements themselves because East Jerusalem, annexed by Israel, is occupied territory in international law.
Meanwhile, rockets from Gaza are landing in Israel.
Those notcases don’t ever want peace with Israel.

Israeli historian Yaacov Lozowick is in favor of continuing the settlement freeze that's set to expire later this month -- as long as the freeze is only in West Bank settlements that are actually up for discussion and that might plausibly be dismantled in a future peace deal with Palestinians.
Bethlehem is literally right next to Jerusalem. You can reach it from Gilo by cab for fifteen shekels, and yet it’s judenrein but for the worshipers at Rachel’s tomb, which is so heavily fortified against the piece-loving Palis that it looks more like a jail than a shrine. There is no such thing as “not adjacent to the green line,” because everything is adjacent to everything in Israel. OK. So Tzefat isn’t adjacent to Be’er Sheva. Big deal. That “historian” should take these fake distinctions, roll them up into a conical shape, place them on a round stool without a back, sit on them and rotate until it penetrates to sufficient depth. That’s all they’re good for.
