Palestine’s Abbas in Saudi Arabia for King Salman, MBS meetings

Al Jazeera  

Abbas’s visit coincides with the arrival of a delegation from his rival Hamas to Saudi Arabia. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is in Riyadh for meetings with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, with reports that a delegation from the rival Palestinian force Hamas is also in the country. Abbas’s visit to Saudi Arabia coincides with a senior Hamas delegation’s arrival in the kingdom, headed by politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh, according to Palestinian media reports. But, according to the Palestinian media reports, the Hamas delegation will hold talks with Saudi officials on a number of Palestinian and regional issues, as well as discussing bilateral relations between Hamas and Saudi Arabia. The last Hamas visit to Saudi Arabia was in 2015, when former group leader Khaled Meshaal met the late King Abdullah and senior Saudi officials.
