Sharjah 24 – KUNA: US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke on Tuesday with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas regarding increased tensions and recent violence in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip, including at Jerusalem's Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount.
Secretary Blinken emphasised the importance of Palestinians and Israelis working to end the cycle of violence by refraining from actions and rhetoric that escalate tensions, according to a statement attributable to US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price.

He also reiterated the US commitment to improving the quality of life of the Palestinian people in tangible ways and America's support for a negotiated two-state solution, the spokesperson added.
