According to a statement from Mikati’s press office, the participants discussed “the significance of providing uninterrupted humanitarian aid to those in Gaza and supporting international humanitarian organizations operating in the Strip.”

Regarding Lebanon, King Abdullah expressed “Jordan’s support for the efforts of the Lebanese people to strengthen stability.” Mikati praised “Jordan’s efforts under the leadership of King Abdullah to defend Arab causes and work towards peace and stability.”

Later in the day, Prime Minister Najib Mikati met with Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh, along with their respective delegations, to discuss the “urgency of halting Israeli aggression against Gaza and ensuring sustained access to humanitarian aid, while rejecting forced Palestinian displacement.”

Mikati emphasized, “Efforts and contacts with Arab and international parties are to ensure the cessation of Israeli aggression against Gaza.” Al-Khasawneh stressed that “Israel’s immunity in exceeding and flagrant violations of international law must end.”

He further affirmed King Abdullah II’s call for international support to halt the aggression, adding that Jordanian diplomacy insists that “the cycle of such violence will end only with the establishment of an independent and fully sovereign Palestinian state on the lines of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and within the framework of a two-state solution.”
