US President Joe Biden said on Monday that the United States is working on an agreement regarding hostages between Israel and Hamas, which might lead to a period of calm in Gaza that will last at least six weeks, while King Abdullah II of Jordan stressed the need for this war to end immediately. .
Biden added to reporters following talks with Jordanian King Abdullah, “We are working hard for peace, security, and dignity for both the Palestinian and Israeli people. I am working on that day and night.”
The King of Jordan said: This war must end.
Jordanian King Abdullah II called on Monday for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, following talks with US President Joe Biden, who, for his part, indicated an agreement was under discussion to stop hostilities “for at least six weeks.”
Speaking at the White House, the US President reiterated the “must protect” Palestinian civilians in Rafah in the event that Israel launches a ground military operation in the city located in the southern Gaza Strip.
For his part, King Abdullah II said, “We need a sustainable and immediate ceasefire,” adding that any Israeli ground attack on the crowded city of Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip, “will certainly result in a new humanitarian catastrophe.”
In his first bilateral meeting with Biden since the attack, the Jordanian king said that the world “cannot bear (the consequences of) an Israeli attack” on Rafah, adding, “We cannot stand aside and allow this matter to continue.”
Like other Arab countries, Jordan calls for an end to the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The United States currently refuses to talk regarding stopping the war and prefers to present the idea of a long “truce” with the release of the hostages who are still being held in Gaza.
