They further reviewed the situation in Gaza, emphasizing the need to implement all aspects of U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza and to strengthen humanitarian efforts to meet the needs of the population.
They also stressed the importance of halting the deterioration in the occupied West Bank and stopping all illegal Israeli measures that undermine the two-state solution.
Safadi and Sheikh Abdullah reaffirmed the deep-rooted and historic brotherly ties between Jordan and the UAE, and their commitment to strengthening cooperation across various sectors in a way that serves their shared development priorities and mutual interests, benefiting both nations.
