Doha: Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa met Tuesday with Singaporean Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan to discuss ways to enhance bilateral cooperation, as well as the latest developments on the ground in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem.
According to Qatar News Agency, the Palestinian Prime Minister emphasized that any transitional arrangements in the Gaza Strip must align with the New York Declaration.
