According to reports, Oman's Foreign Ministry is working with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah to organize a visit to Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
Netanyahu and the State of Israel expressed condolences to the Omanis following the death of Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, who died on Saturday at the age of 79.
Israel's prime minister says he plans on working with Arab countries at a U.S.-backed Mideast conference in Warsaw to focus on the 'common interest' of combating the Iranian threat.

In a true sign of change in the Arab world, Kuwaiti media personality Yousuf 'Abd Al-Karim Al-Zinkawi called on all Arab and Muslim states to recognize Israel, openly and without delay, and stop calling it "the Zionist Entity" or "the Israeli occupation," terms which undermine Israel's legitimacy.
