Mladenov tweeted Monday evening that the meeting was “very constructive” but said little else.

Mladenov also met with Education Minister Naftali Bennett, he wrote in a post on Twitter. “Israeli communities in the South and Palestinians in Gaza have lived long enough in fear,” he wrote.

“We need to resolve all humanitarian issues, support UN and Egyptian efforts and step back from the brink.”
