Khaberni - Donald Trump, the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, shook hands during his reception at the start of the "Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit".
The presidents spoke for several seconds before shaking hands in front of the cameras, in their first meeting in eight years.
The Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh is hosting an international summit under Egyptian and American co-presidency.
It is expected to witness the signing of a document that guarantees the end of the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Last month, the American authorities refused to grant Abbas and his staff visas to enter the United States to attend the United Nations General Assembly meetings.
