The remarks came during a meeting in Ramallah with Egypt’s Ambassador to Palestine, Ehab Suleiman, held as part of a gathering with several Arab ambassadors accredited to the State of Palestine, the Middle East News Agency reported.
During the meeting, President Abbas conveyed his greetings to President Abdel Fattah el‑Sisi, and extended his appreciation to the leaders of Arab countries for their continued backing of the Palestinian cause and their support for the Palestinian people.
President Abbas also briefed the diplomats on the latest developments in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, stressing the importance of strengthening joint Arab coordination to support the Palestinian position and to advance efforts toward a just and comprehensive peace based on the two‑state solution.
He highlighted the growing challenges facing Arab countries and peoples, particularly amid the sensitive circumstances affecting the region.
For his part, Ambassador Suleiman outlined the impact of regional escalation on the situation in Palestine and the broader Middle East.
