King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and Jordanian monarch King Abdullah, discussed the Palestinian problem on Tuesday, the official news agency SPA said, amid a swirl of regional diplomacy aimed at restarting Mideast peace talks. “During the meeting they discussed the overall situation in the Arab World, particularly developments in the Palestinian case and efforts to achieve peace in the region,” SPA said. The Jordanian leader's visit to Saudi Arabia comes on the heels of a similar trip to the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh Monday, where he held talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. The two Arab leaders, who reviewed the outcome of last week's visit to Cairo by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urged Israel to stop all unilateral actions including settlement activity in occupied East Jerusalem and other part of the West Bank. The Jordanian leader's one-day visit came in the wake of visits to Riyadh by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas leader Khaled Misha'l. Other meetings appeared to be aimed at gathering support from other Arab states for a deal between the two differing Palestinian factions, Hamas and Fatah. Misha'l met on Tuesday with officials in Bahrain while Abbas was in Qatar and Kuwait.
