DUBAI: Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan said on Wednesday the dangerous situation in Gaza requires all parties to double their efforts to deal with the latest developments. 

Prince Faisal made the remarks as he attended an Arab-Islamic ministerial committee meeting in Jordan focused on halting the conflict in Gaza.

Meanwhile, Jordan's foreign minister said Israel is pushing the whole Middle East to the brink of regional conflict by maintaining a dangerous escalation on several fronts. 

Ayman Safadi said following the meeting that peace would not prevail without a two-state solution.
