Ministry spokesperson Fouad Al-Majali stated that Jordan values the leading role of the sister countries, Egypt and Qatar, in efforts to reach a lasting agreement for a ceasefire.
Al-Majali reiterated Jordan’s appreciation for President Trump’s efforts and his proposal regarding the cessation of the war, the reconstruction of Gaza, preventing the displacement of the Palestinian people, and supporting initiatives to achieve comprehensive peace, in addition to his stance rejecting the annexation of the West Bank.
He affirmed that Jordan views its partnership with the United States as a key pillar in efforts to end the conflict and achieve just peace.
Al-Majali emphasized the necessity of an immediate halt to 'Israeli' aggression on Gaza, opening crossings to allow sufficient, immediate, and sustainable humanitarian aid to reach all areas of the Strip, and launching genuine efforts to achieve a just peace based on the two-state solution, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
He confirmed that Jordan continues to work with its brothers, the United States, and international partners to stop the war and launch a real and effective process to achieve just and lasting peace based on the two-state solution.
The ministry also affirmed the Kingdom’s readiness to resume delivering aid to Gaza as soon as the occupation removes restrictions, ensuring its safe delivery in accordance with international law and international humanitarian law.
