AMMAN — Jordan has decided not to hold the four-way summit in Amman on Wednesday with US, Egypt and Palestinian leaders as planned, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on Tuesday night.
In an interview with Al Mamlaka TV, the foreign minister said: "We have decided that there will be no summit meeting on Wednesday."
Safadi also said the US President Joe Biden will not visit Jordan on Wednesday.
“After consulting with our Palestinian and Egyptian brothers and talking to the US, we have decided not to hold the summit. If this summit is to take place, we want only one outcome, and that is the end of war, respect Palestinian lives and deliver the aid that they are entitled to have," he said.
“This war and this aggression will push the region into abyss,” Safadi said.
The summit will be held at a time when a decision can be reached to put an end to the war and stop the massacres, Safadi added.
"Since this won't be possible on Wednesday, we have decided not to hold the summit,” the foreign minister said.
