LONDON: Jordan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi has met his French counterpart in Paris, Jean-Noel Barrot, to discuss the situation in Gaza following the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
The two ministers expressed their approval of the agreement and the necessity of implementing its terms, the Jordan News Agency reported.
Israel and Hamas agreed early on Wednesday on the first phase of a Gaza plan put forward by US President Donald Trump, in which the two sides will exchange captives by next week.
The discussions on Thursday took place before a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, and included the foreign ministers of Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and an Emirati state minister.
Safadi emphasized the need to end the conflict in Gaza and address its consequences through a practical and effective approach to deliver humanitarian aid, aiming to alleviate the famine caused by Israeli aggression, Petra added.
