Jordan's King Abdullah II met with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Monday to discuss the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel and the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Footage shows Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron welcoming King Abdullah and Queen Rania in the French capital's Elysee Palace.
The two leaders reiterated the call to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza, highlighted the importance of ceasefires and discussed the humanitarian conditions of civilians in Gaza, and discussed bilateral as well as regional issues during the meeting according to media reports.
It is also reported that Abdullah II addressed developments in the West Bank and warned against 'hostile acts' by 'extremist settlers' against Palestinians and unilateral actions that would destroy the historical and legal status quo at Christian and Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem.
Fighting continues for the ninth month in Gaza after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,139 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200 according to Israeli officials.
Israel declared war on the group and a 'complete siege' of Gaza, with a large-scale campaign of air strikes. A ground incursion began at the end of the third week, with Israeli leaders vowing to 'wipe out' Hamas. Palestinian officials reported that at least 37,626 people had been killed and more than 86,098 injured at time of publication.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) claimed that Hamas locations and infrastructure were targeted in the response. However, United Nations experts warned against 'collective punishment' for the people of Gaza, before predicting a 'humanitarian crisis' and then claimed that 'hell is settling in' for the region.
