Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi meets with King Abdullah II of Jordan for a closed-door discussion about the conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the deteriorating humanitarian situation in besieged Gaza.
Egypt’s presidential office says the two leaders condemn Israel’s policy of “collective punishment” against Palestinians in Gaza and its efforts to displace “Palestinians from their lands to Egypt or Jordan.”
Few further details were given.
