Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, met with the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas on Friday 13 October, Ednews reports citing Independent.
Mr Blinken’s meeting with Mahmoud Abbas in the Jordanian capital Amman comes after his brief visit to Israel.
It is the first face-to-face encounter since the current crisis began between the US and the leader of Palestine.
Mahmoud Abbas partially governs the West Bank but is a bitter political rival to Hamas, which controls Gaza.
