On the occasion of the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to the Middle East, the US State Department in its daily press briefing for US media, praised the efforts made by Jordan to stop violence and escalation between Palestine and the Israeli Occupation.

A US Senior State Department Official said that the US appreciates the huge roles that Jordan played to stop the violent confrontations in Palestine.

The official said “We really appreciate the important role played by Egypt, which was critical in the effort to mediate an end to the violence, and also really appreciate the roles of Jordan and Qatar and other partners who played a role here.”

May 20, the Israeli Occupation and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire following 11 days of violence that killed over 200 Palestinians.

The ceasefire went into effect at 2am Friday, following exchanges of fire.
