Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority were set to hold a tripartite summit in Cairo on Thursday to formulate a united Arab front on the renewal of the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, a Jordanian diplomat source told Arabi-language newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat Wednesday.
The source said that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was also supposed to attend the summit, but canceled his invitation.
Bennett's office released a statement denying the report.
"There was no intention to hold a meeting between the prime minister and the chairman of the Palestinian Authority and no such meeting is expected," the statement read.
"[Egyptian] President [Abdel Fattah] al-Sisi invited the prime minister to a meeting in Egypt and the prime minister will meet with him soon."
