During the meeting, they addressed the current risks and challenges of the increasing violations by Tel Aviv’s troops and how to deal with them, the news agency noted.

The situation in the Gaza Strip, where more than two million Palestinians live under severe restrictions due to the Israeli siege, was discussed.

The coastal area has been under blockade since 2007 after Hamas took control of the territory.

Last week, an Islamic Jihad delegation also visited Cairo to analyze the situation in Gaza in the face of an escalation of violence that could lead to a new large-scale armed clash.
