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. .

How does King Abdullah II of Jordan’s recent call for enhanced humanitarian aid impact the international community’s response to the crisis in Gaza?
**Interview with Dr. Sarah Al-Nasser, Middle East Affairs Analyst**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Al-Nasser. Recent developments have shown King Abdullah II of Jordan calling on the international community to enhance humanitarian aid in Gaza. Can you elaborate on the significance of his remarks?
**Dr. Al-Nasser:** Thank you for having me. King Abdullah II’s call for strengthened humanitarian responses is crucial, especially considering the devastating conditions in Gaza. The ongoing conflict has escalated a humanitarian crisis, and his emphasis on the need for aid to arrive without obstruction highlights the urgency of the situation. His remarks serve as a reminder for the international community to take action and ensure that aid reaches those in desperate need.
**Editor:** It’s interesting to note that shortly after the King’s comments, the Jordanian army launched aid efforts, sending eight helicopters with supplies to Gaza. What impact do you think this will have?
**Dr. Al-Nasser:** This action demonstrates Jordan’s commitment to supporting the people of Gaza amid their suffering. Sending helicopters with over seven tons of aid not only provides immediate assistance but also sets an example for other nations to follow. It signals to the international community the importance of a coordinated effort to deliver humanitarian aid more effectively. This could encourage similar initiatives from other governments and organizations.
**Editor:** Considering the regional dynamics and the ongoing conflict, how do you view the role of Jordan in the broader context of Middle Eastern politics regarding Palestine?
**Dr. Al-Nasser:** Jordan plays a critical mediating role in Middle Eastern politics, particularly regarding the Palestinian issue. The King’s strong stance on humanitarian aid reflects Jordan’s historical support for Palestine and its people. Moreover, as a neighboring country with a significant Palestinian population, Jordan has a vested interest in maintaining stability in the region. By advocating for humanitarian measures, Jordan aims to promote peace and help alleviate tensions, which ultimately contributes to regional stability.
**Editor:** what are the next steps you believe the international community should take in response to the situation in Gaza?
**Dr. Al-Nasser:** The international community must prioritize humanitarian access to Gaza without restrictions. This includes ensuring that aid organizations can operate freely, with the necessary resources in place to meet the needs of the populace. Additionally, it is essential to engage in diplomatic efforts to address the root causes of the conflict, fostering dialog towards a lasting resolution. The world must not just respond to the symptoms but also work toward a sustainable peace that guarantees the rights and security of all involved.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Al-Nasser, for your insights on this pressing issue. It’s clear that action is urgently needed to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
**Dr. Al-Nasser:** Thank you for having me. It’s critical we keep this dialog going to ensure that the plight of the people of Gaza remains a priority for all.
