Rare Visit: Mahmoud Abbas to Tour Jenin

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is set to make a rare visit to the city of Jenin and its refugee camp, following a large-scale Israeli military operation. Abbas will meet with local residents and officials to receive a briefing on rebuilding efforts. This visit comes amid criticism of the PA's security forces for failing to protect Palestinians during the operation and reports of losing control to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The PA's crackdown on these groups has raised concerns about the upcoming meeting of Palestinian faction leaders in Cairo.
