CAIRO: Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Jordan’s King Abdullah, in a meeting in Amman on Tuesday, reiterated the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, given the humanitarian catastrophe, starvation, and devastation of livelihoods in the besieged region.
Presidential spokesman Ahmed Fahmy said the two leaders spoke of the close relations between the two countries at all levels, emphasizing mutual commitment to further advancing and strengthening cooperation in all domains.
There was also an alignment of views in regard to the importance of continuing coordination and consultations on developments in regional and international issues, including the situation in the Gaza Strip.
The parties warned against the grave and severe consequences of any military operation in the Palestinian city of Rafah.
They called on the international community to assume its role in ensuring the unfettered delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid into the sector to provide relief to those affected.
El-Sisi and King Abdullah reaffirmed their opposition to the displacement of Palestinians outside the territories, and their commitment to the two-state solution — which envisages the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state based on June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital — as the basis for a just and comprehensive settlement of the Palestinian issue.

Palestinian factions offer support for Gaza technocratic committee
- Palestinian National Transitional Committee to administer Gaza backed by presidency
CAIRO: The majority of Palestinian factions and the presidency offered their support for the Palestinian technocratic committee meant to govern Gaza, after mediator Egypt announced on Wednesday that all parties had agreed on its members.
In a statement, Palestinian factions including Hamas and Islamic Jihad said they had agreed “to support the mediators’ efforts in forming the Palestinian National Transitional Committee to administer the Gaza Strip, while providing the appropriate environment” for it to begin its work.
The Ramallah-based Palestinian presidency also announced its support in official media, with a source from the office telling AFP the statement “reflects the position of the Fatah movement because President (Mahmud) Abbas is also the head of Fatah.”
