His Majesty reiterated the need
for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the protection of civilians, calling on
the international community to pressure Israel to stop its war on the Strip.
The King said the continuation
of the Israeli aggression on Gaza has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis,
which demands international action to move urgently to deliver sufficient and
sustainable aid.
His Majesty warned against the
continuation of the disruption of basic services in the Strip, such as fuel,
electricity, water, and medicine, adding that targeting vital institutions in
unacceptable.
The King reiterated Jordan’s
rejection of any attempts to displace Gazans internally or outside the Strip,
which violates international laws and would ignite further conflict in the
region.
Meanwhile, the King and
Secretary Cameron discussed bilateral relations, highlighting the need to
expand cooperation in various fields, in service of the two countries.
Deputy Prime Minister and
Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Director of the Office of His Majesty Jafar
Hassan, the UK secretary’s accompanying delegation, and the UK Ambassador to
Jordan Philip Hall attended the meeting.
