Jordan’s King Abdullah has discussed “dangerous developments” in Gaza and the West Bank during a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, according to a post on X by the Jordanian royal court, Reuters reports.

The phone call comes one day after the Jordanian king met with US President Donald Trump in Washington, where he reiterated his country’s “steadfast position” against Trump’s controversial Gaza displacement plan.

King Abdullah was repeatedly pressed by reporters during the meeting on whether he supported the plan but said only that Egypt was coming up with a response and that Arab nations would then discuss it at talks in Riyadh.
