Jordan, Egypt call for end to Israeli hostilities in occupied West Bank
Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi have jointly called for putting an end to Israel’s new wave of hostilities in the West Bank, expressing their deep concern over the regime’s relentless attacks against Palestinians in the occupied territory.
During a phone call on Tuesday, El-Sisi and King Abdullah also warned of dangerous consequences of the Tel Aviv regime’s continued aggression against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, Jordan's official Petra news agency reported.
In the early hours of August 28, the Israeli military conducted its biggest operation – dubbed “Camps of Summer” – in the West Bank in over 20 years, deploying hundreds of troops and carrying out airstrikes on Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas, which are major centers of Palestinian resistance against the occupying regime.
Since the onset of the current aggression in the West Bank, dozens of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces. The total death toll in the occupied West Bank has now reached over 700 since October 7 last year, when Israel launched its ongoing genocidal aggression against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
El-Sisi and King Abdullah also emphasized the urgent need for an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza as a crucial measure to safeguard regional security and prevent the war from escalating further.
The two leaders further reiterated their opposition to any efforts to displace Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
King Abdullah also conveyed his gratitude for Egypt’s efforts to achieve a comprehensive truce and resolve the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Both leaders underscored the importance of continuing to support the Palestinian people in securing their full legitimate rights and establishing an independent state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital.
Palestinians say such offensives in the occupied West Bank are aimed at cementing Israel’s seemingly open-ended military rule over the territory.
