The US President could be a possible facilitator for the future peace deal, say the observers after the meeting of Trump and Abbas on Wednesday.
President Donald Trump says he'll "do whatever is necessary" to reach a Mideast peace agreement and he believes "there's a very, very good chance" of bringing Israel and the Palestinians together.
"So far, we didn't talk about a mechanism, but the contacts between us and the Americans began and will continue", he said.
During Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's state visit to DC in February Mr Trump suggested that he is open to the idea of a one-state, rather than two-state, solution to the intractable conflict.
Trump expressed his desire to have Palestinians and Israelis draw on the Oslo Accords that Abbas signed as the Palestinian negotiator in 1993 and said he hoped the Palestinian leader would soon sign "the final and most important peace agreement".
And less than a month into office and before almost every other key foreign policy posting, Trump tapped David Friedman, a controversial hardliner on Israel, to be the ambassador in Tel Aviv.
According to a White House official, Trump has heeded the calls by Netanyahu and us lawmakers and will request that Abbas stop payments to families of Palestinian terrorists, reported Haaretz.

"I welcome President Abbas here today as a demonstration of that partnership, that very special partnership that we all need to make it all work". The Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics said the number of Jewish settlers in disputed territory grew from 198,300 in 2000 to 385,900 in 2015. Trump deleted a tweet that said it was an "honor" to meet the Palestinian leader.
In a joint news conference with Abbas, Trump suggested that a peaces agreement between the Israel and Palestine would not be "as hard as people have thought", according to NBC.
Abbas spoke of the importance of providing solutions that would address the situation of Palestinian refugees and those imprisoned in Israeli prisons, referring to "the suffering of my people".
Hamas, which seized Gaza from Abbas in 2007, has dismissed his strategy of negotiations as a waste of time.
Neither of these accounts acknowledge that Abbas and the Palestinian Authority are guilty of incitement and the Times compounds the problem by citing Abbas's phony denial.
Mr Abbas also faces fierce opposition from his main political rival, the Islamic militant group Hamas. "Hopefully something terrific could come out [of] it between the Palestinians & Israel". But Trump's promise to move the USA embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv is on the back burner, and he caught Netanyahu off-guard by asking him to put unspecified limits on settlement activity.
