Abbas adviser says Trump visit could open way to peace process relaunch
A senior Palestinian official says he expects President Donald Trump’s visit to the Holy Land to reopen a path toward resuming long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
Abbas’ adviser Majdi Khaldi tells the Voice of Palestine radio that in the short term, renewed negotiations must address the Palestinians’ economic problems that are linked to continued conflict and Israeli restrictions on trade and movement.
Khaldi says that “this visit will open the way for relaunching the peace process.”
