President Sheikh Mohamed held a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah II on Monday, during which the two leaders reiterated their support for all efforts aimed at securing a lasting ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Both sides underlined the importance of advancing efforts to establish a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution, state news agency Wam reported. They reiterated that it is the only path to achieving lasting stability and security in the region.

The call also underscored the importance of strengthening Arab co-ordination and joint action.

The second anniversary of the Hamas attacks, on October 7, 2023, and the Israeli war that followed is being marked by mounting international calls to halt the bloodshed and allow aid into Gaza.

On Tuesday, Sheikh Mohamed wrote to King Abdullah regarding bilateral ties and ways of strengthening co-operation.

The letter was delivered to Jordan's Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs in Amman.
