Israeli and Palestinian representatives are holding talks in Jordan, state media in the kingdom says, with the “political-security” meeting aiming to restore calm after deadly violence.
Jordanian state broadcaster Al-Mamlaka says the meeting, which kicks off in the Red Sea resort of Aqaba, is “the first of its kind in years between Palestinians and Israelis with regional and international participation” and would address “the situation in the Palestinian territories.”
Sources with knowledge of the meeting say Palestinian intelligence chief Majed Faraj and the head of Israel’s Shin Bet domestic security agency Ronen Bar are set to be in attendance.
Hamas slams the Palestinian Authority’s participation.
The meeting is “a blatant attempt to cover up ongoing [Israeli] occupation crimes, and a green light for it to carry out violations against our people and land and holy sites,” Hamas says in a statement.
