US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is committed to reforming the Palestinian Authority, in comments after they met in the West Bank earlier today.

“What I take away from this meeting is that he is committed to that and is very much prepared to move forward,” Blinken tells AFP in Bahrain in response to a question about Abbas’s commitment to reforming the PA.
