BEIRUT: The international community should exert pressure on Israel to lift its siege on the Gaza Strip and protect civilians, King Abdullah II of Jordan told visiting French President Emmanuel Macron.

"The international community must act immediately to put pressure on Israel so that it would stop the war, protect civilians and lift its siege on the Gaza Strip," the Jordan News Agency, or Petra, quoted the Jordanian monarch as saying.

Also, Abdullah II warned that the humanitarian situation in the region was getting increasingly dire and pushed for assistance to the Gaza Strip. He rejected any attempts to relocate the population of the enclave or force Gaza civilians to do so.
