Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who arrived in Cairo on Saturday to attend a conference in support of Jerusalem, will call for the establishment of an Arab fund to provide financial aid to the Arab residents of the city, Palestinian officials said.
The conference, which will be held on Sunday at the headquarters of the Arab League, comes amid fears of violence in Jerusalem ahead of the holy month of Ramadan, which starts on March 22. It also comes in the aftermath of the two recent terror attacks in Neve Yaacov and Ramot, in which nine Israeli civilians were killed.
The Palestinian ambassador to Egypt, Diab al-Louh, said Abbas's proposal calls for the establishment of the fund to support various small and medium-sized projects in Jerusalem.
