AMMAN — According to the Israeli newspaper
Yedioth Ahronoth, the Israeli prime minister’s office is seeking to convene a
meeting between Premier Yair Lapid and King Abdullah on the sidelines of the UN

The chances of a meeting between Lapid and King
Abdullah are so far uncertain, due to their tight schedules, the newspaper said
in an article published on Sunday.
However, the Israeli newspaper quoted two
high-ranking Israeli officials as saying that the meeting between Lapid and
King Abdullah may take place on Tuesday.
Israel is very interested in such a meeting, because
of the leverage King Abdullah has on the
Palestinian Authority; its aim would
be to help improve the security coordination between Israel and the Palestinian
Authority, after days of a series of escalations in the West Bank, according to
the article.
