Amman: King Abdullah II of Jordan affirmed, during a phone call with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, his country's categorical rejection of the plan approved by the so-called Israeli Security and Political Affairs Cabinet to consolidate the occupation of the Gaza Strip and expand military control over it.
According to Qatar News Agency, King Abdullah II stressed that this step undermines the two-state solution and the rights of the Palestinian people, and threatens international efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement and end the humanitarian suffering in Gaza.
During the call, King Abdullah II noted that Jordan is making every effort to deliver relief aid to the people of Gaza by all possible means, without objection or delay. He also highlighted the dangerous Israeli escalation against Palestinians in the West Bank and its repeated attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites in occupied Jerusalem.
