Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu denied a request to allow Jordanian helicopters to transport Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas directly from Ramallah to Damascus.
As a result of the decision, Abbas had to make his way to Jordan by vehicle, crossing through the Allenby Bridge, before continuing on to Syria via helicopter from Jordanian territory.
Abbas touched down in Damascus around midday, marking his first trip to the Syrian capital in nearly two decades. During the visit, he is scheduled to hold a meeting with President Ahmed al-Sharaa al-Jolani.
