Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will meet US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday, a Palestinian official said early on Thursday.
Hussein Al-Sheikh, secretary general of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, also said on messaging platform X that Abbas will meet with Jordan's King Abdullah in Amman on Thursday.
Also on Thursday, Blinken released a statement in support of Israel before departing for Israel.
"The United States has Israel’s back," said Blinken. "We have the back of the Israeli people. We have their back today. We’ll have it tomorrow. We will have it every day."
