He confirmed that Jordan continues to work with its brothers, the United States, and international partners to halt the war and launch an effective path towards achieving just and lasting peace based on the two-state solution. He also affirmed the kingdom's readiness to resume the delivery of aid to Gaza as soon as Israel removes the restrictions preventing this and ensures the safe delivery of aid in accordance with international law and humanitarian international law.
