Jordan’s King Abdullah and Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi have stressed at the end of an Arab summit in Aqaba that pressure should be increased to end Israel’s “aggression” against Gaza and protect civilians there, Reuters reports.

In a palace statement, both leaders — who attended a three-way meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas — said they rejected any Israeli plans to separate the fate of Gaza from the Israeli-occupied West Bank, adding the two entities were the basis of a future Palestinian state.
