Mahmoud Abbas

Palestinian president says ready to work with Trump for two-state peace plan

In a speech to the UN, Mahmoud Abbas also calls on more countries to recognise a Palestinian state.

Palestinian Authority president says that Hamas has given Israel "excuses" to continue the Gaza war.

Mohammed Shtayyeh's decision to step down could pave the way for a technocratic government.

The Palestinian president condemns the war, as Israel says it will last "many more months".

Israel aims to destroy the group in Gaza, but its influence is spreading in the occupied West Bank.

The foreign secretary tells Israel it will never be secure unless there is "security and stability" for the Palestinian people.

The accords could have led to a Palestinian state - now even Palestinians lack faith in their leaders.

German and Israeli officials condemn the Palestinian leader's remarks about the mass murder of Jews.

The US secretary of state says there is "a shrinking horizon of hope for the Palestinians".
