This came during a phone call between the two sides, according to a statement by the Jordanian Royal Court, a copy of which was received by Anadolu Agency.
The statement said that King Abdullah and Biden discussed “the serious developments in Gaza and the efforts being made to reach an immediate and permanent ceasefire and end the humanitarian crisis in the Strip.”

In turn, President Biden praised Jordan’s “exceptional” efforts in enhancing the humanitarian response in Gaza, according to the same statement.

Biden stressed that “his country will continue to support Jordan as a key partner in efforts to enhance security and stability in the region,” according to the same statement.
