In a statement, the White House said Biden briefed Abdullah on “preparations for a surge in humanitarian assistance during a ceasefire period.” They also discussed reforms to the Palestinian Authority in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, and ensuring it has access to revenue, the White House said.

Jordan’s royal palace said the two men discussed what it described as the “dangerous developments in Gaza”. Abdullah reaffirmed “the important role of the United States in creating a political horizon to achieve just and lasting peace on the basis of the two-state solution,” the palace said in a statement.
