The meeting offers a chance to halt a surge in Israeli-Palestinian clashes in recent months.
AMMAN, Jordan – Jordan will host a meeting on Sunday, February 26, between top Israeli and Palestinian security and political officials in hopes of halting a recent surge in violence that has stoked fears of wider escalation ahead of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, officials said.
The meeting is aimed at giving Palestinians hope for a political future, a senior Jordanian official told Reuters. If its objectives are achieved, “it will be reflected on the ground with decreased tensions,” he said. In previous years, clashes have erupted between Israeli police and Palestinians around Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa mosque at the height of the Ramadan fasting month that coincided with Judaism’s Passover and Christian Easter.
Several Palestinian factions from armed groups within mainstream Fatah to Islamist Hamas and Islamic Jehad called on the Palestinian Authority to pull out of the meeting, saying it was a U.S.-led plot against Palestinian aspirations. Earlier this month, Jordan’s King Abdullah met Biden and held talks with McGurk in which the United States – a staunch ally of Israel, Egypt and Jordan – warned of the threats to regional security and lobbied for a resumption of stalled U.S.-sponsored talks on Palestinian statehood.
