Palestinian President Abbas to Meet US President Trump Next Month
Trump invites Abbas to visit White House
Washington, 23 Rajab 1438/20 April 2017 (MINA) – Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will be at the White House May 3 to meet with President Donald Trump, it was announced Wednesday.
This is will be the first meeting between the two leaders.
“They will use the visit to reaffirm the commitment of both the United States and Palestinian leadership to pursuing and ultimately concluding a conflict-ending settlement between the Palestinians and Israel,” KUNA quoted White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer as telling reporters.
“We’ll have further guidance on that visit as we get closer to the date.”
Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month, and also met with him at Trump Tower in New York just before the presidential election late last year. (T/RS5/RS1)
