New York, MINA – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Wednesday met with Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel on the sidelines of the 73^rd session of the United Nations General Assembly at his place of residence in New York.

Abbas briefed Michel on the latest developments on the Palestinian arena, namely the deadlock in the peace process, the dire conditions experienced by the Palestinian people suffering under the yoke of Israeli occupation and the latest US decisions detrimental to the peace process, WAFA reported.

He urged the European Union to find a way out of this unsustainable situation and reminded Michel of the peace plan he proposed at the UN Security Council in February that called for an international peace conference and the establishment of a multilateral mechanism to oversee the peace process and negotiations with a goal to achieve the two-state solution.

On his part, Michel reiterated his country’s efforts for regional peace, stability and security.
