His Majesty King Abdullah II, in a phone call received from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Thursday, called for stopping Israeli attacks in the West Bank and reaching comprehensive calm, in order to prevent a regional expansion of the conflict.

His Majesty warned of extremist settler violence against Palestinians, and violations of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.

The King reiterated the need to reach an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza, highlighting the important role of Germany and the European Union in working towards de-escalation.

His Majesty reaffirmed that Jordan will not allow for a regional war to unfold on its land, nor accept any actions that threaten its stability.

The King also noted the importance of creating a political horizon to achieve just and comprehensive peace on the basis of the two-state solution.
