Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi hosted Jordanian King Abdullah II and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss the development of the Palestinian cause and express support for a two-state solution with East Jerusalem as the future Palestinian capital. Though not mentioned officially, the key topic on the table was the potential normalisation of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel. Egypt and Jordan have already normalised ties with Israel, and there is speculation that Saudi Arabia may follow suit. The kingdom recently named a non-resident ambassador for the Palestinian Territories and lifted overflight restrictions on Israeli planes.
