During bilateral talks
followed by expanded ones in Cairo, the two leaders expressed rejection of any
attempt at the forced displacement of Gazans into Jordan or Egypt.
The two leaders
reiterated the call to immediately stop the war on Gaza, protect civilians,
lift the siege, and deliver humanitarian aid to the people there.
His Majesty and the
Egyptian president also warned that if the war does not stop and expands, it
threatens to plunge the entire region into a catastrophe.
Both leaders
reiterated that the Baptist Hospital bombing in Gaza is a dangerous escalation,
reaffirming their condemnation of this heinous crime against innocent and
defenseless civilians.
The talks also covered
the firm position of the two counties towards the Palestinian cause, and the
need for the Palestinian people to attain their legitimate rights on the basis
of the two-state solution, guaranteeing the establishment of an independent Palestinian
state on the 4 June 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The need to maintain
close coordination and consultation between the two countries on issues of
mutual concern, in a way that serves their interests and Arab causes was also
stressed during the talks.
Deputy Prime Minister
and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Director of the Office of His Majesty Jafar
Hassan, General Intelligence Department Director Ahmad Husni, Jordan’s
