PA says visit of US delegation to Ramallah ‘crucial’
The Palestinian Authority says the meeting with visiting US officials in Ramallah later today is “important and crucial,” according to the official PA news agency Wafa.
Presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh underscores the importance of the meeting as it comes after the US delegation’s meeting with other Arab leaders.
According to the report, PA President Mahmoud Abbas discussed the stagnated Israeli-Palestinian peace talks with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ahead of today’s meetings.
