The Royal Hashemite Court of Jordan officially announced a trilateral summit scheduled to hold between Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and Jordan’s King Abdullah II. King Abdullah II will host the two leaders in the Red Sea resort of Aqaba on Wednesday.
The primary focus of the talks will be on addressing the “dangerous developments” in war-torn Gaza, as part of Jordan’s efforts to coordinate Arab positions to push for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and ensure the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid.
The leaders will also discuss the escalating violence and arrests in the West Bank, which has been under Israeli occupation since 1967.
The timing of the summit coincides with the ongoing Middle East tour of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who is engaging regional leaders in post-war Gaza discussions.
During a meeting on Sunday, King Abdullah urged Blinken to push for an “immediate ceasefire” and to address the urgent need to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
In response, Blinken called on Israel to spare the lives of Palestinian civilians, especially children, and urged an end to actions that undermine Palestinian self-governance.
Blinken’s tour continues, with scheduled meetings in Ramallah on Wednesday and concluding in Cairo on Thursday, focusing on preventing a spillover of the Israel-Hamas conflict and breaking the perceived “endless cycle of violence” in the region.
