BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- President Mahmoud Abbas and Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Naser Jouda attended Christmas mass in Bethlehem on Thursday, after the official updated the president on meetings between Jordan's King Abdullah and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Speaking at a joint news conference ahead of the mass, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki said the meeting represented "continued consultation between leaders of the two countries," a statement published on the government news agency WAFA quoted.
Jouda delivered greetings and congratulations on Christmas to the Christians of Palestine on behalf of King Abdallah, saying that he was instructed by Abdullah to "consult and to coordinate with our Palestinian brothers in all fields," and to partake in the Christmas events.
Jordan, he continued, alongside Palestine seeks to establish a Palestinian sate on the 1967 borders, saying he hoped Abbas and Abdullah would have fruitful meetings with EU officials in the coming months.
