Sisi, Jordan's King Abdullah II Hold Talks in Riyadh

President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi met with Jordanian King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein, in Riyadh on the sidelines of the Arab-Islamic summit.

The two leaders agreed on the importance of continuing to coordinate the intense efforts of the two countries to push the international community to assume its responsibilities regarding the pursuit of the path of calm and ensuring the delivery of services and humanitarian aid provided to the people of the Gaza Strip, with emphasis on rejecting the exposure of the innocent in the Gaza Strip to collective punishment policies of siege, starvation, or displacement in violation of international obligations under international humanitarian law.
