BETHLEHEM, Palestinian Territories (AFP) — President Donald Trump arrived for talks with Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas in Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday as they seek ways to renew Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts.

Trump arrived at the presidential palace in the West Bank city, located only about a 20-minute drive from Jerusalem but across Israel’s controversial separation wall.

On Monday, Trump held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.
