“I did not meet with any Israeli personality today, as reported by some Israeli media,” the Palestinian leader tweeted.

According to Channel 12, Al-Sheikh and Bar discussed security coordination and the need to stop the escalation of violence on the occupied territories and to strengthen the Palestinian National Authority (PNA).

However, the news outlet pointed out that Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich refused to sign any support or facility for the PNA that falls within his powers, which angered the Israeli armed forces, the television network noted.
