US President Joe Biden’s plan for a trip to Israel and Jordan, which has drawn criticism, was further complicated after hundreds of Palestinians lost their lives in Israel’s attack on a hospital in Gaza.

IT IS CANCELED

Biden was expected to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, and then travel to Jordan to meet with Jordanian King Abdullah, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. However, just as Biden was expected to leave Washington, Jordan canceled the summit.

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safedi stated that his country decided to cancel the quadripartite summit scheduled for Wednesday in Amman.

Regarding the issue, Safadi said: “If the summit is to be held, we want the only result that comes out of this, not the second, to be the end of the war, respect for the humanity of the Palestinians and the handing over of the necessary help.” Safadi emphasized that they want this massacre to stop and that they will continue to support the brother Palestinian people.

On the other hand, the spokesman for the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Abu Zeyd, stated in his statement that the decision to cancel the quadripartite summit in Amman was made in coordination between Egypt, Palestine and Jordan.

Biden hopes to meet with these leaders face to face soon. “The president will remain in regular and direct contact with each of them in the coming days,” he said.
