After Gantz: Herzog, Lapid both called "chairman" Abbas

After last night's meeting in Ramallah with Defense Minister Benny Gantz, this morning the Palestinian Authority chairman also spoke with President Yitzhak Herzog and Prime Minister Yair Lapid. 

This is the first conversation in five years between an Israeli prime minister The talks are taking place in the wake of the forthcoming visit of US President Joe Biden to Israel and the PA next week.

The Lapid office said that the two discussed the continued cooperation, and the need to ensure peace and quiet. The PA chairman congratulated the prime minister on his inauguration and the prime minister congratulated him on the occasion of the Feast of Sacrifice. 

President Herzog also spoke with Abu Mazen earlier about preparing for Biden's visit. 

NEWSRAEL: It should be noted that in the weeks before the holiday of Ramadan, the same Israeli leaders did all they could to convince the Palestinians to calm down their people. It didn't work - the month of Ramadan was extremely violent. Will it work this time?

PA has to think of ways to win the hearts and minds of the Palestinians under their charge. If Hamas take control of West Bank there will be much trouble.
