I<\/strong><\/span>sraeli-Palestinian talks, Egypt and Syria on agenda as UN chief arrives in Middle East<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

15 August 2013 – The deadly violence in Egypt, the ongoing Syria crisis and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process were on Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s agenda as he arrived today in the Middle East, where he held talks with leaders in Jordan as well as with Palestinian officials in Ramallah, before heading to Israel. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

In Jordan, Mr. Ban expressed his gratitude to the Government and people of the country for their generosity in hosting over half a million Syrian refugees at a time when its ability to absorb more people was overstretched. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Both the Secretary-General and King Abdullah recognized that it was critical for the international community to share the burden that Jordan is carrying, according to a <\/span>read-out<\/a> <\/span>of their meeting in the Red Sea resort of Aqaba. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

They also discussed yesterday’s violence in Egypt, with Mr. Ban noting the need to move forward with a political process and genuine reconciliation in the country. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The efforts by United States Secretary of State John Kerry to resume negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians were also discussed in their meeting, as well as in Mr. Ban’s <\/span>meeting<\/a> <\/span>with Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh. The Secretary-General commended Jordan’s efforts in recent years to get the Israeli-Palestinian dialogue back on track. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Mr. Ban then travelled to Ramallah in the West Bank, where he held talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and other Palestinian leaders. While there he also took part in a Model UN event, with a video link to Gaza. He will attend a similar Israeli event on Friday. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Before leaving Ramallah, the Secretary-General launched a new UN Development Assistance Framework that outlines how the world body works with the Palestinian Authority. He also visited the grave of Yasser Arafat. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

From Ramallah, Mr. Ban travels to Jerusalem for meetings with Israeli leaders later today and tomorrow.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
