The UK and Jordan discussed efforts to “significantly step up” humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak spoke with King Abdullah II on Sunday and discussed Britain’s participation in Jordan-led aid deliveries by air, land and maritime corridors to Gaza, according to a readout from Downing Street. Seeking to alleviate fears of a regional escalation after hostilities between Iran and Israel this week, Mr Sunak stressed the UK’s “staunch support for Jordanian and wider regional security, in the face of recent threats”.
