In a high-profile meeting on Wednesday in Jeddah, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman hosted Jordan’s King Abdullah II, accompanied by Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, for official talks that underscored deepening coordination between the two key Arab allies.
The leaders discussed a range of regional and international developments, with a strong focus on the ongoing war in Gaza. Both Saudi Arabia and Jordan reiterated their firm stance against Hamas, expressing clear hostility toward the group and stressing the urgent need for an end to the conflict and the release of Israeli hostages.
In a joint vision that is gaining traction among moderate Arab states, the two monarchs reaffirmed their support for a future in which Gaza is governed by the Palestinian Authority (PA), not by Hamas.
This aligns with international efforts to reshape the political landscape in the Palestinian territories following the war.
The meeting also emphasized the importance of Arab unity and constructive dialogue in restoring peace and stability to the region.
As long-standing advocates of a two-state solution, both Saudi Arabia and Jordan are pushing for a framework that sidelines extremist factions and brings Gaza back under the governance of a recognized Palestinian body.
The visit is a strong signal of coordination between two of the region’s most influential powers, as the Middle East navigates a volatile geopolitical landscape and a shifting post-war reality in Gaza.
