AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah on Tuesday received a delegation of United States Senate and House of Representatives staff.

The meeting, held at Al Husseiniya Palace and attended by HRH Crown Prince Hussein, touched on ways to enhance the strategic partnership between the two countries, as well as the United States’ pivotal role in the region, a Royal Court statement said.

Speaking about regional developments, His Majesty called for immediately reinstating the Gaza ceasefire and resuming aid flow.
