US President Donald Trump called Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas on Tuesday amid speculation the White House was planning to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital, a Palestinian official said.
The official, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity, did not provide any details of the conversation.
The phone call came with Palestinian leaders warning that US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital would ruin Trump's efforts to reach an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.
