Netanyahu also met one-on-one with Oman's foreign minister, Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah, after paying a rare visit to the sultanate last year. Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and adviser, is taking part in the Warsaw conference where he will speak behind closed doors on the contours of a US peace proposal to be presented after Israeli elections in April. Iran quickly linked the attack to the conference in Warsaw, where supporters of the formerly armed opposition rallied in the streets on Thursday. Dubbing the meeting in Poland the "Warsaw Circus", Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the attack's timing was "no coincidence" and called the conference "dead on arrival." An extremist group from the Sunni Muslim minority claimed responsibility for the attack in the volatile south eastern Baluchistan region.
