Tillerson calls first Trump-Abbas meet a ‘historic opportunity’

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson calls Abbas’s first-ever meeting with Trump a “historic opportunity,” expressing optimism of reaching an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement under the current administration.

“I think it’s a historic opportunity because there are a number of positive conditions in place, and I know under your leadership that we hope good things will happen,” Tillerson says at a working lunch after a joint Trump-Abbas press conference.
