Jordan's King Abdullah II received a phone call Sunday from US President Joe Biden, according to the Royal Hashemite Court.
The call covered the latest developments in the region and efforts to de-escalate and reach a cease-fire in Gaza, said the court statement.
Abdullah stressed “the need to stop escalation immediately in the region, warning that any escalatory Israeli measures will expand the conflict into the region.”
The king said that ending the war on Gaza immediately is the way to prevent a regional spillover, the court said.
“Jordan will not allow for a regional war to unfold on its land, warning of the consequences of the Israeli aggression on Gaza and unilateral measures in the West Bank,” it said.
Abdullah called for the protection of civilians in Gaza and ensuring the sustainable flow of sufficient humanitarian aid through all available means.
The Royal Court added that discussions during the phone call also covered the need to maintain coordination between Jordan and the US on regional developments.
