Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will call on the EU to officially recognize the state of Palestine during a Monday meeting with the bloc.

AFP--  According to Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki on Sunday, Abbas will tell the EU that the official recognition should be taken "as a way to respond" to US President Donald Trump's move to announce Jerusalem al-Quds as the Israeli capital.

He will also "reiterate his commitment to the peace process" in the Middle East.

Last week, Abbas said that Trump's so-called Middle East peace efforts are the "slap of the century" after his recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's capital.
