Pence gets lucky: Palestinian president won't meet Pence during visit

2017-12-10

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will not meet U.S. Vice President Mike Pence during his visit to the region and there will be no communication between U.S. and Palestinian officials Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki said on Saturday.

Maliki comments were made before an Arab League meeting in Cairo to discuss President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and after Abbas said Washington could no longer be a peace broker.

"We will seek a new mediator from our Arab brothers and the international community, a mediator who can help with reaching a two-state solution," Maliki told reporters in Cairo

US: Palestinian decision to snub Pence ‘unfortunate’

A spokesperson for US Vice President Mike Pence says the Palestinians’ decision to snub the vice president during his Israel visit next week is “unfortunate.”

“It’s unfortunate that the Palestinian Authority is walking away again from an opportunity to discuss the future of the region, but the administration remains undeterred in its efforts to help achieve peace between Israelis and Palestinians and our peace team remains hard at work putting together a plan,” says Jarrod Agen, according to Reuters.
