Halhul was described by the State Department as a community of about 10,000 persons in an agricultural area "on the West Bank of occupied Jordan."

Mulhim is the third West Bank Mayor to visit Washington under the Department’s "multiregional project on local government and community leadership." The project includes seminars in Washington on American political, economic and social systems and visits to American cities. The Mayors of Ramallah and Bethlehem had been here previously.
