Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield to address the Israeli-Palestinian issue. According to reports, Abbas cautioned that Israel's activities in the Palestinian territories "would undermine the idea of the two-state solution" during their meeting at his office on Wednesday.

The President informed the ambassador that the Ramallah leadership opposes the Israeli government's classification of six Palestinian non-governmental organisations as terrorist organisations. According to the statement, he also told Thomas-Greenfield that Palestinians in East Jerusalem reject Israeli actions towards them.

Abbas underlined the Palestinian side's commitment to peace and the organisation of an international peace conference under the auspices of the UN, the United States, the European Union, and Russia.

Following the meeting, the Ambassador sent out the following tweet: "I met with Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, today. We talked about how to repair the US-Palestinian relationship, how to make sure UNRWA follows through on its promises, the importance of human rights, and our shared commitment to a two-state solution." The most recent direct peace talks between Israel and Palestine, which lasted nine months and were sponsored by the US, ended in 2014 due to major differences over Jewish settlements, boundaries, and security.
