The attack in Jaffa took place as Vice President Joe Biden, on a visit to Israel, was meeting former Israeli President Shimon Peres at the nearby Peres Center for Peace.

Abbas who is scheduled to meet with Biden this evening in Ramallah, has not released a statement on yesterday's events.

Shortly before Biden and Netanyahu met in Jerusalem, two Palestinian gunmen carried out shootings in the city before police shot and killed them, Israeli police said.

He was identified as a 25-year-old Palestinian man from eastern Jerusalem with no security-related record.

A man who was stabbed multiple times Tuesday afternoon in a terror attack in Petah Tikva, Israel, managed to pull the knife out of his own neck and stab his attacker.

The issue did not come up in public comments by Biden and Netanyahu.

Resorting to a UN resolution would require a major shift in long-standing U.S. policy, which has mostly opposed use of the United Nations as a forum for pressuring Israel.

They have been working on a new 10-year defence aid package for Israel, now worth some $3.1 billion annually in addition to spending on projects such as missile defence.
