The Jordanian Royal Court announced that King Abdullah II of Jordan and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi confirmed the united stance of Jordan and Egypt, rejecting the policy of collective punishment through siege, starvation, or displacement of their brethren in Gaza. They emphasized during bilateral discussions followed by extensive talks in Cairo that any attempt at forced displacement to Jordan or Egypt is unacceptable.
In a statement, it was noted that the leaders reiterated the need for an immediate cessation of the war on Gaza, the protection of civilians, the lifting of the siege, and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the affected population there. They also affirmed that the continuation and escalation of the war would lead the region into a dangerous slide that poses a risk of bringing disaster, the consequences of which are feared.
The Royal Court highlighted that the leaders considered the bombing of the Baptist hospital a serious escalation, renewing their condemnation of this heinous crime against defenseless innocents. It was clarified that the stable position of both countries regarding the Palestinian issue was confirmed, emphasizing the necessity for the Palestinian people to gain their legitimate rights and establish their independent state along the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
