Former President Donald Trump has unveiled a letter from Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas on his Truth Social platform. The letter, condemning a recent assassination attempt against Trump, comes just days before the GOP frontrunner is set to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago.

Abbas's message struck a conciliatory tone, asserting that "acts of violence must not have a place in a world of law and order." The Palestinian leader emphasized the importance of tolerance and respect for human life, calling for conflicts to be resolved through peaceful communication.

Trump's response was characteristically brief yet optimistic. In a handwritten note, he thanked Abbas, adding, "Everything will be good."

This exchange occurs against a backdrop of shifting alliances in the Middle East. Just days earlier, Abbas's Fatah faction signed a unity agreement in Beijing that includes the Hamas group, long considered a terror organization by Israel and Western nations. The move has drawn sharp criticism from Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, who accused Abbas of "embracing murderers and rapists."

Meanwhile, Netanyahu, who was among the first world leaders to condemn the attempt on Trump's life, is navigating a complex diplomatic landscape. Before his Florida rendezvous with Trump, the Israeli Prime Minister is scheduled to address Congress and meet with President Biden and Vice President Harris in Washington.

The political chessboard is further complicated by Trump's recent comments casting doubt on the viability of a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.
