RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) – Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas will visit Yemen, Syria and Italy next week for discussions on the stalled Middle East peace process, his spokesman said on Thursday.
Abbas leaves Sunday for Yemen where he will meet President Ali Abdullah Saleh to discuss international and Arab efforts to advance the peace process, said spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina.
On Monday, Abbas is to travel to Syria and then to Rome, Abu Rudeina said.
The United States has been struggling to get Israel and the Palestinians to relaunch direct peace talks which were suspended in late December during the Gaza war, with the thorny issue of continued Israeli settlement construction a key stumbling block.
