Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday expressed appreciation for the successful efforts of US President Donald Trump to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, calling it a crucial step in defusing global crises that would positively impact the region's security and stability.
In a letter, Abbas also praised Trump’s stance in calling for an immediate end to the Israel-Hamas war, describing it as another significant step in the US president’s efforts to achieve world peace. He added that such a position "gives hope to the peoples of the region that peace can be achieved and that justice can prevail, if the will and leadership you represent are present."
Abbas claimed a readiness to work closely with Trump and relevant Arab and international parties to negotiate a comprehensive Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement within a clear and binding timeframe that achieves security and stability for all.
"With you, we can achieve what seemed impossible: a recognized, free, sovereign, and secure Palestine; a recognized and secure Israel; and a region that enjoys peace, prosperity, and integration," wrote Abbas.
