The Prime Minister met with the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, to discuss the war against Gaza.

The Prime Minister and Guterres emphasized the importance of an immediate ceasefire and the timely and sustained delivery of humanitarian and medical aid.
In light of the Gaza Strip’s tough circumstances, Khasawneh underlined the UN and its agencies’ critical role in humanitarian a
ssistance response and aid delivery.
The Prime Minister reiterated Jordan’s refusal to create conditions that would lead to Palestinians being forced to leave the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, as well as settlement violence in the West Bank.

The UN Secretary-General praised His Majesty King Abdullah’s efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region, citing the international community’s respect and appreciation for Jordan under His Maj
