Wednesday's meetings were initiated by Minister of Regional Cooperation Esawi Frej, who encourages ministers to renew contacts with their counterparts in the Palestinian Authority.
Horowitz, Zandberg and Frej are all members of the far-left Meretz party.
"There will be further meetings with transport ministers, economy ministers. The process is continuing. There is a will and commitment on both sides –we will talk," Frej said.
The meetings come amid a growing number of high-level contacts between Israel and the Palestinian Authority after the Bennett-Lapid government was sworn in last month.
