Quartet summit in Amman tomorrow to discuss Gaza Crisis

The Jordanian Royal Court announced on Tuesday that King Abdullah II will hold a four-way summit in Amman tomorrow, Wednesday, with US President Joe Biden, his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.


The Royal Court said in a brief statement that the summit will discuss “the dangerous developments in Gaza and their repercussions on the region and ensuring the entry of humanitarian and relief aid into the Strip.”


Earlier today, the White House announced that the US President will visit Israel tomorrow and then Jordan, where he will meet with King Abdullah, Sisi and Abbas. The White House said in a statement that Biden will discuss in Jordan the humanitarian needs of civilians in Gaza.


Yesterday, the White House said that Biden and Sisi discussed the need to maintain stability in the Middle East during a phone call. The White House added that the two leaders also discussed ongoing efforts to alleviate the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.


At a time when the war entered the eleventh day, and stopping the escalation in the Gaza Strip seemed to be far away, after an American, British, and French “veto” thwarted attempts in the Security Council to pass a draft Russian resolution to establish a humanitarian truce, while Israel continued its bombing of the Strip to expect more than 50 dead in the early hours of Tuesday.


While hundreds of trucks were lined up inside the Egyptian border, not far from Gaza, waiting for a signal to transport tons of aid to hundreds of thousands of people besieged inside the Strip, the Palestinian death toll in the Israeli raids on Gaza reached more than 2,800 people, more than half of whom were women and children, and the Palestinian Ministry of Health said. The number of wounded exceeds 10 thousand. The Security Council failed to pass a Russian draft resolution that called for a humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip.
