Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has urged the United States to intervene to stop Israeli escalations in the Palestinian territories, mainly in East Al-Quds.

He made the request in a meeting with US Acting Assistant Secretary of State Yael Lambert and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israel and Palestinian Affairs Hady Amr in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

The US diplomats visited Israel, Jordan and the West Bank in a bid to end the tension in the West Bank and Al-Quds.
