According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, “towards that end,” in addition to discussing how to achieve progress in the coming months, the two men “discussed concrete measures that could help support and advance Palestinian economic development.

“They also made progress on the issue of Israeli settlement construction, following up on President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s agreement in Washington last month to work out an approach that reflects both leaders’ views.
