Israeli, Palestinian Authority officials meet for talks in Egypt

Al Jazeera  

Backed by the US and Jordan, the day-long meeting follows last month’s talks in Jordan. Israeli and Palestinian Authority officials are meeting in Egypt for talks amid criticism and calls for a boycott by Palestinian political parties. A statement by Egypt’s foreign ministry said the talks aim “to support dialogue between the Palestinian and Israeli sides to work to stop unilateral actions and escalation, and to break the existing cycle of violence and achieve calm”. On Saturday, top PA official Hussein al-Sheikh said the Palestinian delegation will be participating in order to “defend the rights of our Palestinian people to freedom and independence”, and “ an end to this continuous Israeli aggression against us and to stop all measures and policies that violate our blood, land, property and sanctities”. In a joint statement, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine political parties said the PA’s insistence on joining the Sharm al-Sheikh summit “constitutes a coup against popular will”.
