Palestinian Authority President Abbas to visit Spain on Thursday — source
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will visit Spain on September 19, a Spanish government source tells Reuters.
The visit comes several months after Spain, Ireland and Norway formally recognized a Palestinian state, and days after Spain hosted a high-level meeting of several Muslim and European countries on ways to end the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
