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 specific humanitarian initiatives has King Abdullah II proposed to address the crisis in Gaza, and how effective could these measures be in improving the situation on the ground?
**Interview with Dr. Sarah Al-Masri, Middle East Politics Expert**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Al-Masri. As we’ve seen in recent reports, King Abdullah II of Jordan has made strong statements regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza. What are your thoughts on his appeal to the international community?
**Dr. Al-Masri:** Thank you for having me. King Abdullah II’s call to action is critical at this juncture. His assertion that the international community needs to “strengthen the humanitarian response in Gaza” highlights the dire urgency of the situation. With ongoing hostilities, the suffering of civilians is exacerbating, and it is paramount that aid reaches those in need without hindrance.
**Interviewer:** Could you elaborate on the specific actions the international community can take to facilitate this humanitarian response?
**Dr. Al-Masri:** Certainly. There are several avenues for action. Firstly, countries must advocate for and enforce humanitarian corridors, allowing aid organizations to operate freely. Additionally, there is a need for increased funding to support these organizations. Engaging in diplomatic discussions to de-escalate hostilities and ensure a ceasefire would also be beneficial. International organizations can contribute by monitoring the delivery of aid to ensure it reaches the intended populations.
**Interviewer:** How significant is Jordan’s role in this context, considering its geographical proximity to Gaza and its historical ties?
**Dr. Al-Masri:** Jordan plays a pivotal role as it is not only a neighbor but also a host to a considerable number of Palestinian refugees. King Abdullah’s leadership can provide a voice for those affected in Gaza. His call for action is also significant as it reinforces Jordan’s position as a mediator in the region, advocating for peace and humanitarian support. The kingdom’s stability is crucial for the broader Middle Eastern geopolitical landscape, making its involvement even more vital.
**Interviewer:** Lastly, do you think this international appeal will lead to any tangible changes on the ground in Gaza?
**Dr. Al-Masri:** It’s hard to predict, but King Abdullah’s appeal could galvanize support and draw attention to the plight of Gazans. If influential nations take this message seriously and prioritize humanitarian efforts, we could see some actions that provide relief. However, much depends on the political will of the global community and the responses of the actors involved in the conflict.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Al-Masri, for sharing your insights today. It’s clear the humanitarian crisis requires urgent action and global cooperation.
**Dr. Al-Masri:** Thank you for having me.
