Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met on Thursday with Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi to discuss relations between Ramallah and Cairo.
The meeting at the new presidential palace in the Egyptian capital addressed the unity government that Abbas’s Fatah faction and the Hamas leadership in Gaza agreed to establish in the next three months, as well as the recent Arab League announcement that it supported “minor” land swaps between Israel and the Palestinian Authority as part of a larger peace settlement.
