Egyptian, Jordanian, Palestinian leaders to discuss regional issues at tripartite summit
RAMALLAH (AA) – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and Jordanian King Abdullah II are scheduled to meet on Sunday in order to discuss regional and international issues.
Palestinian Ambassador to Egypt Diab Allouh said in a statement that the leaders will discuss regional, international and Arab world issues and determine a common position.
The tripartite summit will be held in the Egyptian coastal city of El Alamein.
The leaders will also discuss the latest developments in Palestine, as well as the gaining of international support for Palestinians’ right to freedom, independence, and establishing their own state.
The Palestinian territories have in recent months experienced escalation of violence from Israel with the establishment of a hardline Zionist government under Benjamin Netanyahu. Increasing attacks from Israel have resulted in a death toll of at least 282 since January. Demolitions, arbitrary detentions and target killings continue unabated.
