Jordanian King Abdullah II on Monday warned of the dangerous Israeli escalation in Lebanon, stressing the need for concerted international efforts to put a stop to it before the entire region is dragged into an all-out war.

In a call with Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, King Abdullah II stressed that Jordan stands with Lebanon and its security, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens in the face of the Israeli war.

The Jordanian King said ending escalation in the region begins with the immediate stop of the war on Gaza. He urged the international community to stand with Lebanon at this difficult time to protect innocent civilians, and to move urgently to end all forms of regional escalation
