Amman – King Abdullah II of Jordan, yesterday, Tuesday, called on the international community to “strengthen the humanitarian response in Gaza and ensure the arrival of aid without objection or delay,” in light of the continuation of the Israeli war of annihilation on the Strip.
At Al-Husseiniya Palace in the capital, Amman, the King of Jordan discussed with the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, developments in the region and bilateral relations between the two countries, on the first day of an unannounced visit by the President of Poland to Amman.
In the bilateral meeting, the King of Jordan expressed “the keenness to deepen coordination and cooperation between the two countries regarding various issues of common interest.”
In turn, the Polish President expressed his “happiness to visit Jordan to discuss bilateral relations and developments in the region and the world,” according to the same statement.
Meanwhile, King Abdullah referred to “the commitment of Jordan and Poland to seek to achieve peace and stability in the region,” appreciating Poland’s position in support of the two-state solution.
The King of Jordan warned of “the danger of the escalation in the West Bank and the (Israeli) attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.”
He stressed “the need to intensify international efforts to stop the Israeli war on Gaza and Lebanon.”
King Abdullah called on the international community to “strengthen the humanitarian response in Gaza and ensure the arrival of aid without objection or delay,” in light of the continuing bloody Israeli war on the Strip.
With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving about 148,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and the elderly, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world. .

What key factors are contributing to the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza, according to Dr. El-Fayed?
**Short Interview with Dr. Amina El-Fayed, Middle East Politics Expert**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us, Dr. El-Fayed. We recently learned from King Abdullah II of Jordan that he has called for a strengthened humanitarian response to the ongoing crisis in Gaza. What are your thoughts on his appeal at this moment?
**Dr. El-Fayed:** Thank you for having me. King Abdullah II’s call is both urgent and significant. The humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels, especially with continuing military actions in the region. His request for the international community to ensure aid flows without obstruction aligns with growing global calls for humanitarian access.
**Editor:** He emphasized that the delivery of aid should happen ”without objection or delay.” What challenges do you think the international community faces in addressing these concerns?
**Dr. El-Fayed:** One of the major challenges is the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region. Access to Gaza is often impeded by security concerns and political negotiations, and there can be significant delays caused by bureaucratic processes or military considerations. Furthermore, differing international agendas can hinder a unified response to the crisis.
**Editor:** In light of this crisis, Jordan has also taken action by airdropping medical aid to a field hospital in Gaza. How does this action reflect Jordan’s role in the region?
**Dr. El-Fayed:** Jordan’s airdrop of medical aid signifies its commitment to supporting Palestinian health needs amidst the conflict. It reflects Jordan’s strategic position as a neighboring country with significant historical and demographic ties to Palestine. By taking tangible actions, Jordan is not only providing immediate relief but also sending a message that it remains a key player in regional humanitarian efforts [[1](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/06/world/middleeast/israel-jordan-aid.html)].
**Editor:** What do you think the response from the international community will be, especially given the King’s latest statements?
**Dr. El-Fayed:** The international response is likely to be varied. Some countries may increase their humanitarian efforts following King Abdullah’s appeal, while others might remain politically constrained from taking action. It will be crucial for international organizations and NGOs to work collaboratively to ensure that aid reaches those in need without further delay or hindrance.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. El-Fayed, for your insights on this pressing issue. It’s clear that the situation in Gaza requires urgent attention from the global community.
**Dr. El-Fayed:** Thank you for having me. Let’s hope for a swift and effective response that prioritizes the well-being of civilians in Gaza.
