Abdullah II and Emmanuel Macron on Friday at the Elysee Palace
King Abdullah II of Jordan was received in Paris by President Emmanuel Macron on Friday.
He reiterated what he had already stated in Washington, Ottawa, and London in recent days. The Israeli offensive in Gaza has severe humanitarian consequences and poses risks of destabilization throughout the region.
The Hashemite sovereign called for an immediate ceasefire.
However, the king did not mention the threat posed by Hamas and other terrorist organizations in Gaza.
Jordanian diplomacy should play its role by working with other countries to neutralize Hamas. If the militants lay down their arms and the leaders surrender, the war will immediately cease.

An apparent drone attack - claimed by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia - hit central Tel Aviv in the early hours of Friday, killing one man and slightly wounding four others, the Israeli military and emergency services said.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told his U.S. counterpart that military operations in the Gaza Strip have created conditions that would enable a hostage deal to be reached, Gallant's office said on Wednesday.
A meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the Middle East was briefly interrupted on Wednesday when two protesters stood with signs and yelled for the release of Israeli hostages held by Palestinian militants Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
