Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas spoke by phone Tuesday with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Abbas told Blinken that his administration is in the process of taking measures against Israel, which does not adhere to international resolutions, according to the Palestinian official news agency WAFA.
Blinken meanwhile said that President Joe Biden's administration remains committed to a two-state solution, stopping the expansion of settlements and preventing the expulsion of Palestinians from neighborhoods in Jerusalem.
Noting that the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem will reopen, Blinken said a high-level delegation will go and discuss all these issues before Biden's visit to the region.
He also said the U.S. administration is willing to investigate the murder of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
