Trump seeks steps from Abbas to promote peace with Israel
None
WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump will seek a series of actions from Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas in a White House meeting that U.S. officials believe could lead to a resumption of long-stalled peace talks with Israel.
Officials familiar with planning for Wednesday's session at the White House say the steps include the Palestinians ending anti-Israel rhetoric, incitement of violence and payments to the families of Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli jails. The meeting is the first face-to-face for Trump and Abbas.
The officials say Trump will use the meeting to recommit the US to helping the Palestinians improve economic conditions.
