Mogherini meets with Abbas in Ramallah
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini met Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas Wednesday at his West Bank headquarters at the start of a 24-hour visit to the region.
Mogherini’s aim is to discuss bilateral relations “as well as prospects for the Middle East peace process,” her office said ahead of the trip.
Later on Wednesday, Mogherini was to travel to Jerusalem for dinner with Netanyahu, then meet President Reuven Rivlin and opposition leader Isaac Herzog on Thursday.
During her talks with Abbas, she was expected to raise the issue of the intra-Palestinian unity deal between his Fatah movement and the rival Hamas, whose stronghold is in Gaza. The accord was signed in April 2014 but has largely run aground.
