Egypt, Jordan slam Israel over Gaza violence

The Jordanian and Egyptian foreign ministers are condemning Israeli actions on the Gaza border and calling for international protection for Palestinians.

“We reject the violence that Palestinians are being subjected to, and we look forward to an important meeting on the matter by the Arab League in Saudi Arabia soon,” Egypt’s Sameh Shoukry says in a joint press conference with Jordan’s Ayman Safadi, according to Al Arabiya.

Safadi adds that Amman continues to reject the US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
