AMMAN, Jordan (AA) - Jordan's King Abdullah II affirmed Sunday that his country continues to coordinate with its allies to achieve regional stability.

The monarch’s statement came during a meeting with a group of Jordanian Senate members in the capital, Amman.

Jordan “continues to coordinate with Arab countries and allies on regional developments to protect its interests and achieve regional stability,” he said during the meeting as cited by a royal court statement.

He emphasized the importance “of stopping the Israeli war on Gaza, and achieving comprehensive calm in the region.”

The king also highlighted Jordan's efforts to sustain the flow of relief aid to Gaza, calling on the international community to step up its humanitarian response.

Addressing developments in the occupied West Bank, Abdullah stressed the need “to end unilateral measures targeting Palestinians and Jerusalem,” the statement said.

He also reaffirmed Jordan's support for Syria “to build a free, independent, and fully sovereign state,” saying that Amman is discussing with Damascus ways for cooperation in energy, water, trade, and security.
