Jordanian foreign secretary warns ‘we stand at brink of regional war’ as he meets Antony Blinken in London
Jordan’s foreign minister has called for pressure on Israel to end what he called the “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza, as he met the US secretary of state,
Although Blinken claimed to have seen an improvement in the amount of aid during his trip to the Middle East, Arab diplomatic sources said the figures were nowhere near the level the Biden administration previously said in its letter would be requiredif Israel was not to face punishment including the potential stopping of US weapons transfers.
His remarks stopped short of a call for an immediate ceasefire, the position adopted by the French, since the US believes that if Hezbollah can be weakened further the political deadlock that prevents the formation of a full government can be broken.
