A four-way summit of Egyptian, Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli leaders
started in Egypt on Monday to ease the current grave situation in the
Palestinian territories and activate the stalled Mideast peace process.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Jordanian King Abdullah II, Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert attend the
summit.
Means to contain a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and the West
Bank and transfer of aids to the Palestinian emergency government are
also expected to top the agenda of the summit.
The latest diplomacy maneuver proposed by Mubarak came amid chaos in the
Palestinian territories where Hamas seized control of Gaza by violence
and Abbas, in response, sacked the Hamas-led unity government and formed
an emergency government led by Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.
Ousted Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haneya on Sunday slammed the
summit, saying it will bring nothing to the Palestinians and accusing
Israel of boosting the difference among the Palestinians by supporting
the emergency government.
