Jordan's King Abdullah discussed on Wednesday "dangerous developments" in Gaza and the West Bank during a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, according to a post on X by the Jordanian royal court.
The phone call comes one day after the Jordanian king met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, where he reiterated his country's "steadfast position" against Trump's controversial Gaza displacement plan.

Jordan's Armed Forces announced Saturday they had intercepted 79 out of 85 missiles and drones fired directly from Iran toward Jordanian territory during the second week of the US-Israeli war against Tehran.
Several Gulf Arab states said they were targeted by Iranian missiles on Saturday after Tehran pledged to retaliate against strikes by the United States and Israel, bringing conflict to a part of the Arab world that prides itself on relative safety.
Saudi Arabia issued a sharp condemnation of Iran Saturday, denouncing what it called a "brutal aggression" against its Gulf neighbors, as the region descended into unprecedented chaos following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iranian territory.
