US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has spoken to President Mahmoud Abbas about reforming the Palestinian self-rule government, as part of US efforts to rally the region behind post-war plans for Gaza that also include concrete steps toward a Palestinian state.
In their meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah this Wednesday, Blinken told Abbas that the US supports “tangible steps towards the creation of a Palestinian state," according to State Department spokesman Matthew Miller.
