Jordan’s Foreign Minister, US Counterpart Discuss Developments in Gaza Strip, and Region

Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Al Safadi discussed, in a phone call Wednesday, with his US counterpart, Anthony Blinken, efforts to reach an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and the negotiations undertaken by Qatar, Egypt and the United States to complete an exchange deal that would lead to an end to the war on Gaza. During the call, the two sides discussed the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza, and the necessity of bringing aid into Gaza adequately and immediately, and ensuring its distribution throughout the Strip. The two ministers also discussed targeted efforts to agree on a roadmap to end the conflict and achieve just and comprehensive peace. Al Safadi stressed the need to make every possible effort to prevent the conflict from expanding to Lebanon by activating international efforts that impose adherence to Resolution 1701, noting that stopping the aggression against Gaza is the basic step to protect the region from the danger of the conflict expanding.
