Stopping Israel’s war on Gaza ‘an absolute necessity’: Jordan king

King Abdullah II of Jordan has called for the international community to pressure Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza and end its siege of 2.3 million Palestinians.

“We are against any attempt by Israel to create an exodus of Palestinians or internally displace the inhabitants of Gaza,” King Abdullah said.

The king said “stopping the war on Gaza is an absolute necessity, and the world must move immediately in this direction”.

He warned the conflict “may lead to an explosion of the situation in the region”.
