Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke with Jordan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi today to discuss the urgent need to avoid further escalation in the region by Iran, as well as diplomatic efforts to achieve an enduring end to the crisis in Gaza that provides lasting peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians alike. Secretary Blinken thanked Jordan for its leadership in facilitating the delivery of life-saving humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, including through joint U.S.-Jordan airdrops and deliveries by land. The Secretary also discussed ongoing efforts to secure an immediate ceasefire in Gaza over a period of at least six weeks as part of a deal that would release hostages.
