Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will meet with Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi on Wednesday the Egypt Independent reported on Tuesday.

More specifically, the two leaders will review the Palestinian president's discussions with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about peace process developments.
