LONDON: Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and Palestinian Authority Vice President Hussein Sheikh have discussed efforts to solidify the ceasefire in Gaza and stop Israeli escalation in the occupied West Bank.
In a meeting in Amman on Tuesday, the two officials stressed the need to uphold the Gaza ceasefire and advance to the second phase of the agreement based on the plan by US President Donald Trump.
They agreed that achieving stability must be linked to a clear political path leading to a just and comprehensive peace based on a two-state solution, according to the Petra news agency.
They said Gaza was an integral part of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, where Palestinians seek to establish an independent Palestinian state.
Safadi and Sheikh addressed the worsening situation in the occupied West Bank, stressing the urgent need for coordinated regional and international efforts to stop illegal Israeli actions that could escalate violence and hinder peace.
They urged Israel to honor the historical and legal status quo of Islamic and Christian holy sites in occupied Jerusalem and to remove restrictions on freedom of worship.
