Iran's Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi has met with a delegation from Palestinian factions at the Iranian embassy in Damascus.

A statement issued by the factions said that discussions focused on the latest developments in the region, the Palestinian cause and mainly US President Donald Trump’s Israeli-Palestinian peace plan dubbed the “deal of the century.”

The statement stressed that the Palestinian factions remain united against the plan.

It said that the two sides discussed the difficulties facing the Palestinian people and the resistance factions, and their role in confronting Israeli occupation.

According to the statement, “Alavi lauded the role of the resistance factions and their deterring capabilities in the latest war on the Gaza Strip.”

The leadership of the factions stressed the importance of the “interconnected role of the resistance axis’ forces and countries in the region in confronting schemes and threats that target Iran, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon.”

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte met US President-elect Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday, a spokesperson for the transatlantic military alliance said on Saturday.
"They discussed the range of global security issues facing the Alliance," the spokesperson, Farah Dakhlallah, said in a brief statement.
On its website, NATO said Rutte and his team also met with Congressman Mike Waltz, Trump's pick to be his national security adviser when he returns to the White House, and other members of the president-elect's national security team.
On Friday, NATO did not respond to requests for comment on Dutch media reports that Rutte - a former prime minister of the Netherlands - had flown to Florida on a Dutch government plane to meet Trump.
Rutte, who took office as NATO chief last month, was widely regarded as one of the best European leaders at forging a good working relationship with Trump during his first, 2017-21 term as US president.
