Senior Palestinian, Egyptian and Jordanian diplomats and intelligence chiefs are gathered in Cairo to discuss “the latest developments in the Palestinian cause,” officials say.
Key Abbas adviser Hussein al-Sheikh and Ramallah’s intelligence head Majid Faraj represent the Palestinian Authority, according to the official PA WAFA news agency.
“The tripartite meeting discussed the latest political developments in the Palestinian cause, and confirmed positions supportive of the Palestinian people,” the PA mouthpiece reports.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi attend the talks, as well as the intelligence chiefs of both countries.
Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki was strikingly absent from the meeting.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
