that Jordan is in constant contact with the US, and is working to make the
Palestinian issue top the agenda of US President Joe Biden’s visit to the region
next month.
According to

position of the two countries, and stressed that the region is heading toward
establishing alliances, so an Arab alliance must be reached and time should be
invested in resolving the Palestinian issue.

Hamada Faraneh said that Abbas’ visit was an occasion for His Majesty to
reaffirm Jordan’s support for Palestine, and to stress that the Kingdom will
work to make the Palestinian issue a priority on the agenda of the US-Arab
summit in Jeddah.

the meeting took place in order to coordinate Abbas’ position with that of the
US president when they meet in Bethlehem, adding that the visit “carried a
message of reassurance, in which there was agreement and a promise to take
measures”.
