Jordanian King Calls for End to War on Gaza, Humanitarian Truce to Ensure Sustainable Delivery of Aid

General

Jordanian King Abdullah II called for an end to the war on Gaza and a humanitarian truce to ensure the sustainable delivery of aid to the strip, and the unimpeded work of international humanitarian agencies.

During a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Saturday, the Jordanian King called for stepping up international efforts to deliver food, water, medicine, and fuel to Gaza without interruption, and support relief organizations working in the strip.

Noting that the only way to end the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is by working towards a political horizon to achieve just and comprehensive peace on the basis of the two-state solution, he warned that military or security solutions will not succeed.

King Abdullah II reaffirmed Jordan's ongoing support for the Palestinian people in gaining their legitimate rights to establish a sovereign and independent Palestinian state on the 4 June 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.
