Jordan’s King Abdullah spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday about escalating tensions in Gaza and the West Bank, the Jordanian royal court said. The call followed the king’s meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington.
Jordan’s King Abdullah discussed “dangerous developments” in Gaza and the West Bank with French President Emmanuel Macron during a phone call on Wednesday, the Jordanian royal court announced on social media platform X.
The conversation came just a day after King Abdullah met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, where he reiterated Jordan’s firm opposition to Trump’s controversial plan to relocate Gaza’s Palestinian population.
Jordan has strongly rejected any forced displacement of Palestinians, warning that such a move would threaten regional stability.
France has also voiced concerns over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, calling for greater international efforts to prevent further escalation. Macron has previously pushed for diplomatic solutions and increased aid for Palestinians.
The Middle East crisis remains a key issue in global diplomacy, with multiple leaders engaging in talks over the ongoing conflict.
