LONDON: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met King Abdullah of Jordan to discuss developments in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
The meeting in Amman focused on the peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump for Gaza, which aims to establish a lasting ceasefire, facilitate aid flows, and advance recovery and reconstruction efforts in the region.
Abbas said that the goal of these efforts was to achieve a two-state solution in accordance with international resolutions, according to Wafa news agency.
He appreciated Jordan’s assistance in supporting Palestinian rights, which included establishing field hospitals and providing treatment for the wounded from Gaza.
He also reaffirmed the unity of the Palestinian-occupied territories, including the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, rejecting any Israeli attempts to separate them, Wafa added.
The Palestinian Authority held local elections last week, including towns in the West Bank and in Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Authority will hold National Council elections in November as part of political reforms and is also drafting a constitution.
The meeting was attended by Palestinian Vice President Hussein Al-Sheikh, Major General Majed Faraj, head of the General Intelligence Service, and Attallah Khairi, the ambassador to Jordan.
