Abbas has appealed to the international community, including countries in Europe

European leaders have criticized Trump’s dramatic policy shift on Jerusalem, but appear unwilling to confront Washington over its handling of more than two decades of failed efforts to broker an Israeli-Paleostinian partition deal.
First visit by India PM
Modi’s visit to the city of Ramallah was the first by an Indian prime minister to an autonomous Paleostinian enclave in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The Indian leader pledged $41 million for a hospital, three schools and other projects in the West Bank. He said India remains "committed to Paleostinian national rights," but stopped short of offering support for Abbas’ political agenda.
Modi’s West Bank visit was seen, in part, as an attempt to compensate the Paleostinians after he hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for six days last month, in a reflection of warming ties between Israel and India.
