AMMAN: Jordan鈥檚 King Abdullah and French President Emmanuel Macron met on Monday in Paris to discuss the dangerous developments in Gaza and the severe humanitarian plight resulting from Israel鈥檚 war on the Strip, Jordan News Agency reported.

During their meeting at the Elysee Palace, the leaders urged the international community to intensify efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza by all available means.

They reiterated their commitment to providing continued assistance to the region.

More than 37,500 Palestinians have been killed in Israel鈥檚 war on Gaza, the majority of them women and children, according to Gaza鈥檚 Health Ministry.

King Abdullah and Macron underscored the urgent need for a ceasefire and emphasized the protection of civilians. The discussions, attended by Queen Rania and Brigitte Macron, also touched upon broader regional issues.

The king expressed concern about the potential spillover of the conflict, which poses a threat to international security. He reiterated that the two-state solution remains the sole pathway to achieving a just and comprehensive peace.

The two leaders highlighted the importance of maintaining Lebanon鈥檚 stability and security while King Abdullah cautioned against the persistent targeting of relief organizations in Gaza and praised France鈥檚 support for UNRWA, which plays a crucial role in delivering essential services to nearly 2 million Palestinians in the region.

Addressing the situation in the West Bank, King Abdullah condemned the violence by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinians and warned against any unilateral actions that violate the historical and legal status of Jerusalem鈥檚 Islamic and Christian holy sites.

The meeting was also attended by Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and the Jordanian ambassador to France, Leena Al-Hadid.
