APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Ramallah - 24 May 2021. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas meets with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

STORYLINE

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry in Ramallah on Monday.

The top Egyptian diplomat arrived in the city aboard a Jordanian helicopter from Amman.

The meeting came days after an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire came into effect on Friday between Palestinian resistance groups and Israel, putting an end to 11 days of fighting.

Earlier Monday, Shoukry met with his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi in Amman where the two diplomats warned of another round of escalation in the Palestinian territories.

"What Israel is doing in the West Bank necessitates Egypt communicating with Jordan," Shoukri said, pointing to "the importance of crystallizing an international position to stabilize the calm."

Recent tensions that started in East Jerusalem during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan spread to the Gaza Strip as a result of Israeli assaults on worshippers in the flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

Egypt is seeking to restore its regional clout by mediating between Israel and Hamas to douse the week-long conflict in Gaza that has cost more than 200 lives.

A ceasefire was reached late last week after 11 days of deadly violence between Israel and the Hamas movement.
