US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the Jordanian capital Amman after his short visit to Israel on October 13.
Source: “European truth” with reference to Bloomberg
Details: It is reported that this is the first face-to-face meeting since the Palestinian group Hamas attacked Israel between a US official and the leader of the Palestinian Authority.
The Palestinian Authority partially controls the West Bank but is a bitter political opponent of Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip.
Abbas, 87, has led the Palestinian Authority for the past 18 years. His original four-year term in office was extended due to the failure to hold elections in the territory.
