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 are the potential long-term impacts of King Abdullah II’s call for increased humanitarian aid on Jordan’s diplomatic relations in the region?
**Interview with Dr. Layla Ahmed, Middle Eastern Affairs Expert**
**Editor:** Good evening, Dr. Ahmed. Thank you for joining us today. Recently, King Abdullah II of Jordan has made a significant statement urging the international community to bolster humanitarian efforts in Gaza. What are your thoughts on his call for increased aid and the implications for the region?
**Dr. Ahmed:** Thank you for having me. King Abdullah II’s appeal is crucial, especially given the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. The ongoing conflict has exacerbated the suffering of civilians, and his calls for the international community to act without delay reflect a growing urgency. The humanitarian response is essential not only to provide immediate relief but also to stabilize the region in the long term.
**Editor:** He mentioned ensuring that aid arrives “without objection or delay.” How realistic is that in the current political climate?
**Dr. Ahmed:** It’s a challenging situation. Politics often interferes with humanitarian efforts, especially in conflict zones. There’s a need for coordinated international support and pressure on all parties to allow unhindered access to aid. Recent actions, such as the U.S. and Jordanian forces conducting a humanitarian airdrop in Gaza, highlight international willingness to assist, but they also underscore how problematic the logistics can be given the ongoing hostilities [[1](https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3693302/us-jordanian-forces-deliver-humanitarian-aid-to-civilians-in-gaza/)].
**Editor:** How does the joint operation between U.S. and Jordanian forces impact this situation?
**Dr. Ahmed:** The joint humanitarian airdrop illustrates a significant step in multinational efforts to address the crisis. It not only delivers aid directly to those in need but also shows a unified front from Jordan and the U.S. This collaboration can encourage other nations to be more proactive in their responses. However, the effectiveness of such measures relies heavily on the security environment and the willingness of all parties involved to facilitate these efforts.
**Editor:** What role do you think regional countries should play in supporting King Abdullah’s call for humanitarian aid?
**Dr. Ahmed:** Regional countries must come together to support humanitarian access and advocate for peaceful resolutions to conflicts. Collective diplomatic pressure can often lead to more substantial outcomes, and nations in the region have a shared interest in stability. They can also mobilize resources and support initiatives like the one executed by the U.S. and Jordan, ensuring that aid flows consistently to Gaza.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Ahmed. Your insights are invaluable as we navigate these complex humanitarian issues.
**Dr. Ahmed:** Thank you for the opportunity. Let’s hope for a swift resolution and increased aid efforts for those in need.
