US President Barack Obama has arrived in the West Bank city of Ramallah for talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Meeting Mr Obama off his helicopter, Mr Abbas took him to his presidential compound for talks likely to focus on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
The American leader is spending a few hours in Ramallah and Palestinian expectations are low, analysts say.
On his first visit as US president, Mr Obama vowed strong support for Israel.
