Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi hosted his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, and Jordan’s King Abdulla in Cairo for talks on the “grave situation in Gaza”, calling for Palestinian Authority to govern the enclave in the future, Al Jazeera says.
The three leaders “underlined that governance as well as maintaining order and security in Gaza, as well as in all Palestinian territories, shall come solely under the authority of an empowered PA, with strong regional and international support”, a joint statement read.
“They called for an immediate return to the ceasefire, for the sake of the Palestinians to be protected and receive immediate and full humanitarian aid.”
The statement further said: “The leaders expressed alarm at the increasingly deteriorating situation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and urged to stop all unilateral measures that undermine the viability of the two State solution and increase tensions.”
