The King reiterated the need to reach an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza, highlighting the important role of Germany and the European Union in working towards de-escalation.
 
His Majesty reaffirmed that Jordan will not allow for a regional war to unfold on its land, nor accept any actions that threaten its stability, the statement said.
