29 Dec 2020; MEMO: Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and Jordanian King Abdullah II have agreed to revive the peace process and to resume Palestinian-Israeli peace talks, Rai Al-Youm news site reported yesterday.
In a statement, the Egyptian presidency said that Al-Sisi had received a phone call from King Abdullah and discussed the latest updates about regional issues, "especially the Palestinian cause."
According to the statement, the two sides agreed on the importance of "reaching a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian cause that guarantees the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people."
Palestinian-Israeli talks stalled in 2014 after Israel refused to stop its illegal settlement expansion and release a batch of Palestinian prisoners as they had agreed to do as a goodwill gesture prior to talks beginning.
