After the attack, the Israeli delegation left the summit in Egypt with the PA

News » Arab-Israeli conflict

A delegation of Israeli officials left the summit with colleagues from the Palestinian Authority after a terrorist attack in the city of Hawara in Samaria, where an Israeli was seriously injured.

The summit took place in Egypt, which has become a key mediator between Jerusalem and various Palestinian factions. Officials from Israel, the PA, Egypt, Jordan and the US attended an emergency conference in an attempt to ease tensions in the region.

The past few months have seen a surge in Palestinian terrorism against Israeli targets. Israel is seriously concerned that the unrest could escalate into a new intifada, especially given the scale of incitement by the Palestinian terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

These efforts were also aimed at stabilizing the PA, primarily through economic assistance. Ramallah was compelled to comply with the request of Jordan, Egypt and the United States to attend the conference and sent three representatives close to PA President Mahmoud Abbas.

The meeting was also attended by Senior Advisor to US President Joe Biden Brett McGurk and Foreign Ministers Egypt and Jordan.
