Spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh emphasized the importance of Trump's stance, especially amid ongoing United States pressure on Israel regarding a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Abu Rudeineh also praised Trump's positive remarks about Mahmoud Abbas, describing him as a respected and rational leader. The Palestinian Authority reiterated its commitment to international principles and called on Trump to continue supporting regional stability. Relations between Trump and Abbas have shifted from previous tensions to a more pragmatic approach, with the Palestinian Authority now viewing Trump as a key figure in advancing the prospect of a Palestinian state.
