Palestinian president arrives in Baghdad on official visit, offers Paleo rebuilding expertise
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) ‐ Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
on Sunday arrived in Baghdad, on an official visit, during which he is scheduled to meet with his Iraqi counterpart Barham Saleh to discuss the current political situation in the country.

Abbas is set to meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi to discuss obstacles facing the Paleostinian cause, as well as means of promoting relations between the two countries in all fields.

The president is accompanied by Head of the Paleostinian General Intelligence Majed Faraj, Economic Affairs Adviser Mohammad Mustafa, and Diplomatic Adviser Majdi al-Khalidi.

In rare visit to Iraq, Abbas offers Palestinian ‘expertise’ to help rebuilding

[IsraelTimes] Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on Sunday that he had offered Palestinian “expertise and companies” to help Iraq with their post war reconstruction, the official PA news site Wafa reported.

Abbas, who is making his first visit to Iraq in several years, made the offer at a press conference alongside Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi in Baghdad.

The PA president said Palestinians were ready to help rebuild Iraq, which has suffered major material losses in armed conflicts over the past 17 years, with “Palestinian expertise and companies,” the report stated, without elaborating.
Cuz everyone was laughing too hard
The Palestinians sometimes sponsor limited international aid projects. For instance, the PA Health Ministry recently sent a delegation of 16 doctors to Venezuela to provide medical care to locals there.

It is not clear how much resources Ramallah, which is heavily cash-strapped, could provide to help rebuild Iraq. The Palestinians are themselves very reliant on international assistance.

Abbas is slated to fly to Jordan on Monday and then return to the West Bank.

Separately, several senior Palestinian officials on Sunday denied reports that Abbas would soon visit Syria and meet Syrian President Bashar Assad.

#6  current political situation in the country.

Um, which country is that? Paleos don't have one so I figure that it has to be Iraq or Israel, in which case Iraq could speak directly to Israel, no?
