Trump publishes letter from Mahmoud Abbas expressing outrage over assassination attempt

Former US President Donald Trump shared a letter he received from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemning the assassination attempt against him at a campaign event.

Abbas's letter said that "acts of violence must not have a place in a world of law and order".

The image Trump shared also showed his written response to Abbas's letter.

"Mahmoud – So nice – Thank you – Everything will be good," the former US president wrote.

The sharing of the letter comes hours after Trump announced he would host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago hotel in Florida.
