His Majesty King Abdullah II received a phone call from Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday, during which they discussed ways to de-escalate tensions in the region.

His Majesty reiterated the need to put an end to Iran’s aggression against Arab states, emphasising that Jordan would continue to take all necessary measures to safeguard its security and sovereignty.

The call touched on the dangerous developments in the West Bank and the situation in Gaza, with the King calling for stepping up international efforts to prevent the situation in the region being exploited to create new facts on the ground.

The two sides also agreed that Jordan and Canada would continue to coordinate on developments in the region, in service of mutual interests and regional stability.
