On Thursday, President Abbas received the Israeli Defense Minister in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The talks focused on calming tensions and coordinating security ahead of the planned visit by US President Joe Biden next week. The US President will hold talks with the Prime Minister of Israel and the President of Palestine before visiting Saudi Arabia.
