Both delegates discussed developments in Gaza Strip and means of reaching a ceasefire, ending the siege on the coastal enclave, and allowing entry of humanitarian aid to the besieged Palestinian people there.

The discussions also tackled latest developments in the negotiations on prisoners’ exchange between the Palestinian resistance and Israel.

Both officials agreed that establishing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital would serve as the cornerstone of stability in the region.

The Israeli aggression on Gaza has almost entered its fifth month with 100,000 Palestinians killed, wounded, or missing in the beleaguered enclave. Hundreds of thousands of residential units were destroyed while two million people were displaced. (ILKHA)
