Egypt's Sisi hosts Jordan king for talks on Gaza war
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will host Jordan's King Abdullah II for a summit in Cairo on Thursday, the presidency said, as violence in the neighboring Gaza Strip spirals.
The Jordanian royal court said in a statement that the two leaders would "discuss means to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza".
Egypt and Jordan were the first Arab states to normalize relations with Israel, in 1979 and 1994 respectively, and have since been key mediators between Israeli and Palestinian officials.
