- Discussions focus on pressing regional developments
CAIRO: Jordan’s King Abdullah II held high-level talks on Tuesday with Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Cairo, on the sidelines of the Extraordinary Arab Summit hosted by Egypt.
The discussions focused on pressing regional developments, including efforts to sustain the ceasefire in Gaza, accelerate humanitarian aid, and support reconstruction efforts without displacing the Palestinian population, the Jordan News Agency reported.
The leaders also addressed escalating tensions in the West Bank, emphasizing the need for coordinated regional responses to maintain stability.
King Abdullah reaffirmed the strong ties between Jordan and Iraq during the meeting with Rashid, and expressed his commitment to deepening cooperation across various sectors. Both leaders stressed the importance of continued coordination on shared regional security concerns.
The king stressed Jordan’s steadfast support for Lebanon’s efforts to maintain its security and stability during his talks with Aoun. The two leaders explored ways to further enhance cooperation and strengthen relations.
The meetings were also attended by Jordanian Prime Minister Jafar Hassan, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, and Director of the Office of His Majesty Alaa Batayneh.
The focus of the summit was on mobilizing financial and logistical support for reconstruction efforts in Gaza, and ensuring that the Palestinian population stays in their homeland, in opposition to the proposal put forward by US President Donald Trump last month.
