US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a phone call with his Jordanian counterpart earlier today, the State Department says.
The pair discussed ongoing efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza along with “the post-conflict period and diplomatic efforts to achieve an enduring end to the crisis in Gaza that provides lasting peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians alike,” the US readout says.
Blinken thanked Safadi for Jordan’s efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The top US diplomat also “emphasized the US continuing commitment to the establishment of a Palestinian state with security guarantees for Israel,” the US readout adds.
