Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry met with the foreign ministers of Jordan and Palestine this weekend to further talks on the Arab-Israeli peace process. The three ministers agreed that there’s no alternative to Israel accepting the 1967 border agreement, which would allow for the creation of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, a joint statement picked up by Al Shorouk says. The statement also called on the international community to bolster efforts to restart the peace talks. The international press is taking note of the story, with pickups on Russia’s Sputnik, the AFP, Kuwait News Agency, and Jordan’s Petra News Agency.
