King, Spain PM discuss dangerous developments in Gaza

AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah, during a phone call with President of the Spanish Government Pedro Sánchez on Tuesday, stressed the need to step up international efforts to put an immediate stop to Israel’s attacks on Gaza.

His Majesty emphasised that the international community needs to put pressure on Israel to commit to re-establishing the ceasefire and implementing all the agreed upon phases, and resuming the flow of humanitarian aid, according to a Royal Court statement. 

The King warned that the continuation of the war is endangering the lives of innocent civilians, exacerbating the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza, and could lead to further escalation across the region, the statement said. 

His Majesty reiterated Jordan’s rejection of any attempts to displace Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, stressing that there will be no peace or stability in the region without a just solution to the Palestinian cause, on the basis of the two-state solution.
