Wednesday, His Majesty King Abdullah II confirmed today that the resumption by Israel of his attacks against Gaza is a very dangerous step which adds more destruction to the current deterioration of the humanitarian situation.
His Majesty, in joint press statements with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palais d’Elysee in Paris, called on the international community to move immediately in order to restore the ceasefire to Gaza and to implement all its stages.
His Majesty stressed that the continuation of Israeli attacks and the prevention of the entry of aid, water and electricity in Gaza are climbing stages that threaten the lives of the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip which live a difficult reality, pointing to the need for an immediate call to participate in the aid.

His Majesty thanked France for its role in work with Jordan to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, in particular thanks to air landings.
His Majesty stressed that the displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza threatens to expand the conflict and increase instability in the region, calling for the endowment of dangerous climbing in the West Bank, which caused the movement of more than 40,000 Palestinians this year.
His Majesty reiterated the need for an immediate endowment of attacks against the Islamic and Christian Holy Sites in Jerusalem, stressing that the continuation of the attacks against the Palestinians and their properties and the violations of international law undermines the chances of achieving peace.
His Majesty added that the political solution leading to peace on the basis of a two -state solution is the only way to ensure the security of the Palestinians, Israelis and the whole region, appreciating the active and pivotal role of France and Europe in this regard.
Speaking of Syria, His Majesty stressed that Jordan wanted to see Syria stable and united, highlighting the support of the Kingdom to the efforts of Syria to preserve its security, its stability and its territorial integrity and protect its citizens.

He stressed that the submission of proposals to a sure future for the peoples of the region requires political courage, and this is what His Majesty represents day after day during this difficult period.
He said: “Israeli and Palestinian leaders must also do it, and we have to support them in this, because the opposite is extremism that will push peoples to new suffering contracts and repeat tragedy,” he said.
Speaking of the Palestinian question, the French president said that there were part of the Abrahamic agreements, which is the Palestinian State which will finally make the Palestinians their legitimate rights in order to delete any argument to exploit the Palestinian question by those who only want to prolong their control.
