European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday held a phone call with King Abdullah II of Jordan to discuss escalating violence in Gaza, European support for Palestinian civilians, and the strengthening of bilateral ties between the EU and Jordan. In the call, von der Leyen praised Jordan’s role in maintaining regional stability amid protracted conflict and humanitarian disaster, lauding Amman’s longstanding generosity in hosting Palestinian refugees. The discussion focused heavily on the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza. Von der Leyen strongly condemned recent Israeli strikes, including one on a school sheltering displaced Palestinians.
