According to local media, Jordanian King Abdullah II is set to travel to Egypt to attend a five-way Arab summit on Monday.

The summit will bring together the leaders of Jordan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, and Iraq, the country’s state-run channel said.

The broadcaster said that the summit will discuss a host of regional issues, topped by Palestinian developments.

The summit is yet to be confirmed by Egypt.

UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan arrived in Egypt and held talks with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi on Sunday.

The two leaders underlined the “importance of joint Arab action and unity to face challenges in the region,” a statement by Sisi’s office said.

Monday’s summit comes a month after a US-Arab summit in Saudi Arabia, with the attendance of leaders of the five countries along with others.
