The meeting dealt with recent developments in Jerusalem and Gaza, the overall situation in Palestine and Israel, and ways and opportunities to revive political talks between the two sides.

during the meeting, Aboul Gheit expressed concern about the recent escalation in Jerusalem, blaming the Israeli authorities that sought to impose new restrictions on the Palestinians in Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.

He also welcomed the efforts of the the United Nations (UN) Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process to restore calm in Jerusalem and end the escalation with Gaza Strip.
