Jordan's King Abdullah II and Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi held a phone conversation on Saturday to discuss ongoing efforts to end the Israeli war on Gaza, which has been ongoing since October 7, 2023.
The leaders emphasized the need for a comprehensive ceasefire, the resumption of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and the broader goal of regional stability.
According to a statement from the Jordanian Royal Court, the conversation focused on addressing the ongoing conflict in Gaza, ensuring the entry of humanitarian aid, and pushing for a lasting ceasefire in the region. The two leaders also condemned the continuing Israeli assaults on Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, as well as the violations of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
Both King Abdullah II and President Sisi reaffirmed the importance of supporting Gaza’s reconstruction efforts without displacing its residents, emphasizing that Palestinians should remain on their land. In March 2024, an emergency Arab summit adopted a $53 billion reconstruction plan for Gaza, presented by Egypt, which proposed rebuilding the enclave while keeping its population intact. However, the plan was rejected by Israel and the U.S., which instead supported U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to relocate Gaza's Palestinian population to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan. Both Egypt and Jordan have rejected the U.S. plan, and it has been met with opposition from other Arab nations and international organizations.
The discussions also touched on strengthening bilateral cooperation between Jordan and Egypt to enhance their strategic partnership. President Sisi reiterated Egypt’s full support for Jordan, particularly in the face of any threats to its security and stability.
Additionally, the conversation came amid heightened security concerns in Jordan. On Tuesday, Jordan's intelligence services announced they had foiled a plot aimed at undermining the country's national security, arresting 16 individuals involved. The plot included the illicit manufacturing of missiles using both locally sourced and foreign-imported materials.
