US President Donald Trump will meet Palestinian officials in the West Bank town of Bethlehem next week, after talks with Israeli leaders in Jerusalem, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster says.

McMaster tells reporters that, while in the Palestinian territories, Trump “will convey the eagerness to facilitate an agreement that ends the conflict and he will urge leaders to take steps that will help lead to peace.”
