Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas calls for the Palestinian leadership to hold an “urgent meeting” on the Israel Defense Forces operation in the West Bank city of Jenin, the official Wafa news agency reports.
The agency also says that the PA and Jordan have held talks on the matter.
Earlier, Jordan condemned “Israeli aggression” in Jenin and called on the international community to pressure Israel to stop the operation before the situation “explodes.”
