US President Joe Biden said on Monday that Washington is actively working for peace, security and dignity for the Palestinian and Israeli peoples.
Biden explained, in a joint press conference with Jordanian King Abdullah II, that his administration is working on a hostage deal that will achieve a period of calm for at least 6 weeks and then we will build on it, stressing that the operation in Rafah should not proceed without a plan that guarantees the lives of more than a million. A Palestinian there.
The US President expressed Washington’s opposition to any forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, and the need to keep the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings open to deliver aid to Gaza.
Biden said at the conference that the Palestinian Authority must reform itself so that it can lead the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza.
For his part, King Abdullah rejected the Israeli attack in Rafah, warning that this would result in another humanitarian catastrophe, calling that “this war must end.”
The Jordanian King said that it is necessary for UNRWA to continue to receive the support it needs to carry out its missions, warning that restrictions on aid lead to inhumane conditions.
He called on the Jordanian worker to work to create a political horizon that leads to a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution, rejecting the separation of the West Bank from Gaza.
On Monday, the American President received King Abdullah II as part of a tour of the Jordanian monarch that will later include Canada, France, and Germany.
The Jordanian King’s tour aims to “mobilize international support for a ceasefire in Gaza and provide humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip in sufficient quantities and on a permanent basis,” according to the Royal Court.
