Bank, as well as efforts by various parties to halt the assault and
establish arrangements leading to a ceasefire, along with anticipated
subsequent developments.

increase international recognition of Palestine as an independent state.
He further noted that the Secretary-General briefed President Abbas on
ongoing preliminary consultations to prepare for the upcoming joint
Arab-Islamic summit and received insights from His Excellency regarding
Palestine’s priorities for the summit.
