AMMAN — Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh on Friday telephoned US Secretary of State John Kerry and European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini and discussed with them developments in the occupied Palestinian territories. In particular, Judeh, the US and EU officials discussed the “dangerous developments in the region and the continued Israeli violations at holy sites in occupied Jerusalem”, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Informed sources said Jordan is expected to hold a three-way summit gathering Kerry, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over ways to stop the escalating violence, triggered by frequent storming of Al Aqsa Mosque by Israeli extremists under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.
