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.

A Jordanian official told Reuters on Thursday that Arabs "will only support what Palestinians agree and decide on" after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel wanted to hand over Gaza to Arab forces that would govern it.
Jordan's armed forces said on Saturday that its forces killed two armed people after a 'foiled infiltration attempt' through its border with Syria the previous day.
On Sunday, the Jordanian army announced that two Jordanian aircraft and one from the United Arab Emirates dropped 25 tons of humanitarian aid over the Gaza Strip.
