AMMAN, Wednesday, August 28, 2024 (WAFA) - Jordan's King Abdullah II warned on Wednesday of the seriousness of developments in the West Bank, calling for a "more effective American position to stop the humanitarian catastrophe" in the Gaza Strip.

This came during his meeting with a delegation of members of the US Congress at Al-Husseiniya Palace in Amman, according to a statement by the Jordanian Royal Court.

The statement said that the king "warned of the seriousness of developments in the West Bank."

He pointed to "the attacks by colonists and extremists against the Palestinians, and to the violations against Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem that will lead to the escalation of violence."

The King called for "the United States to play a more effective role in pushing to stop the humanitarian catastrophe in the Strip, and to find a political horizon to achieve a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution."
