Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has written a letter to US President Donald Trump applauding his efforts to secure a truce between Israel and Iran, and offering to work with him on another agreement that will bring lasting peace and stability to Palestinians, Al Jazeera reports citing the Wafa news agency.

In the letter, Abbas, who heads the Palestinian Authority, which administers parts of the occupied West Bank, said he is ready to collaborate with the US and other Arab and international countries to negotiate a comprehensive peace deal that ends the Israeli occupation.

“We hope and trust in your ability to make a new history for our region that will restore to the region the peace lost for generations,” Wafa quoted the letter as saying.
