U.S. President Joe Biden and Jordan's King Abdullah on Monday discussed the importance of stability in the West Bank and in the Middle East more broadly,
the White House said in a statement.

Jordan's King Abdullah II appealed for a full ceasefire to end the war in Gaza after talks with U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday, warning against any offensive at all, according to a statement from King Abdullah II.

The U.S. is working on a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas that would lead to a period of calm in Gaza lasting for at least six weeks, Biden said, underscoring the importance of upholding the status quo at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount and recognizing Jordan's crucial role as the custodian of Muslim holy places in Jerusalem.
