TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - King Abdullah II of Jordan asserted that the attacks by Israel in Gaza must be halted immediately. He made the statement during a summit meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and French President Emmanuel Macron in Cairo, Egypt, on Monday, April 7, 2025.
As reported by Arab News, the leaders urged the international community to advocate for efforts to resolve the war in Gaza. They also pushed for the reinstatement of ceasefire agreements and aimed to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to the coastal pockets of Palestine.
According to the Petra news agency, King Abdullah stated that the Israeli attacks in Gaza undermine all diplomatic and humanitarian efforts to resolve the crisis and risk dragging the entire Middle East into chaos. He emphasized the need for a political solution based on a two-state resolution, which would ensure security and stability for Palestine and Israel.
King Abdullah also emphasized that Jordan opposes the displacement of Palestinian residents in Gaza and the West Bank. He also condemned Israel's unilateral actions and attacks on Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
The Jordanian delegation present included Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi, the Director of the King's Office Alaa Batayneh, and the Ambassador to Cairo Amjad Al-Adaileh.
King Abdullah and El-Sisi welcomed France's support in resolving the Palestinian issue. They highlighted the need for international cooperation, particularly from European Union countries, including France, to aid in the reconstruction of Gaza.
After arriving in Cairo on Sunday, April 6, 2025, Macron was scheduled to travel to Al-Arish, 50 kilometers from the Gaza Strip, on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, to meet with humanitarian and security authorities and to advocate for a ceasefire.
On Monday, Macron expressed strong opposition to any relocation or annexation in Gaza and the occupied West Bank by Israel.
King Abdullah, El-Sisi, and Macron underscored the need for a political solution to establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, aiming for lasting peace.
