(AFP) - Senior Palestinian Authority and Israeli officials met at a ceremony Tuesday in the first high-level encounter since United States President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
PA economy minister Abeer Odeh and Israeli Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon attended the inauguration of a new cargo scanner donated by Holland at the Allenby Bridge border crossing between Jordan and Samaria. Israel's tax authority said that the new device will enable 200 containers to cross between Jordan and the PA each day instead of the current 100.
