- King emphasizes Jordan’s commitment to supporting PalestiniansÂ
AMMAN: Jordan’s King Abdullah II spoke on the phone to French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday to discuss developments in Gaza, the West Bank, and broader regional issues.
The Royal Court said the king stressed the urgent need for intensified international efforts to halt the war in Gaza and guarantee the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid across the enclave, the Jordan News Agency reported.
He reiterated Jordan’s firm rejection of Israeli plans to consolidate the occupation of Gaza, expand military control there, and its continued settlement expansion in the West Bank.
King Abdullah stressed Jordan’s commitment to supporting the Palestinians in securing their legitimate rights and establishing an independent state based on the two-state solution.
He welcomed France’s declared intention to recognize the Palestinian state later this month and commended its diplomatic and humanitarian efforts to achieve peace in the region.
The two leaders also focused on the importance of supporting Syria and Lebanon in safeguarding their security, stability, and territorial integrity, Petra added.
