UNITED NATIONS: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas pledged at the United Nations on Thursday to work with US President Donald Trump, Saudi Arabia, France and the United Nations on a peace plan for Gaza overwhelmingly backed by the world body. The 193-member UN General Assembly overwhelmingly endorsed this month a seven-page declaration that aims to advance a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians and end the Gaza war between Israel and Hamas militants.

Donald Trump will address UN leaders on Tuesday, as more European countries look set to join the French policy change.

US president will meet with leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Turkiye, Indonesia and Pakistan.
