Jordanian Foreign Affairs Minister Ayman Safadi met on Friday in Madrid with the European Union's foreign affairs and security chief, Josep Borrell, to discuss the recent escalation of violence in the West Bank and the situation in Gaza.
During their meeting, Safadi and Borrell reviewed broader regional developments and the progress of relations between Jordan and the EU.
They held talks on the sidelines of a high-level meeting involving several Muslim and European countries that sought ways to end the Israel-Hamas conflict and called for a clear timeline for implementing a two-state solution.
Safadi and Borrell reaffirmed their commitment to ongoing coordination and collaboration, with a focus on reducing the escalation in the West Bank, achieving an immediate and comprehensive truce in Gaza, protecting civilians, and ensuring that sufficient and sustainable humanitarian supplies reach all areas of the Strip.
Jordan, with a population that is 60% Palestinian, must find a balanced position in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The monarchy has no sympathy for the Islamists in Gaza, but King Abdullah must act cautiously regarding his Palestinian population.
