King Abdullah II of Jordan has called for launching a humanitarian bridge to break the Israeli siege imposed on Gaza and rush urgent humanitarian aid into the Strip, which is suffering from a humanitarian catastrophe.

Addressing the Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah II of Jordan called on his brothers and friends to engage in launching a humanitarian bridge to get urgent assistance into Gaza in every conceivable way to stop the war and lift the injustice imposed on the Palestinian people and those in the West Bank.

He emphasized the importance of immediately ceasing the Israeli war on Gaza and Lebanon, protecting innocents, and ending the devastation to prevent the region from descending into an all-out war, the cost of which will be paid by all, he said.

The Jordanian King pointed out that the failure of the international community to halt the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has led to its escalation against the Palestinian people in the West Bank, as well as the Islamic and Christian holy places, ultimately resulting in the outbreak of a war in Lebanon.

He stressed the importance of exploring a real political horizon to solve the Palestinian cause based on the two-state solution as the sole way to achieve peace, stability, and security in the region.
