Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will fly to Moscow on Wednesday to update Russian President Vladimir Putin on the details of the U.S. administration’s peace plan, a spokeswoman for the premier said.

Netanyahu’s trip comes amid signs that Putin may pardon Naama Issachar, a 26-year-old Israeli woman imprisoned in Russia on drug-smuggling charges.
