Safadi said the meeting would be held at a time when the parties could agree to end the “war and the massacres against Palestinians”, blaming the Israeli regime with its military campaign for pushing the region to “the brink of the abyss”.
Biden was expected to make a whirlwind trip to occupied Palestine where he would later head to Jordan and, according to Jordanian officials, meet Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el Sisi and the Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas.
The US president now will visit only occupied Palestine and postpone his travel to Jordan, Al Jazeera quoted a White House official as saying on Tuesday.
Jordan’s King Abdullah would have hosted the four-way summit, which would have on its agenda the need to get humanitarian assistance to Gaza to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and tamper the conflict with the Israeli regime.
Abdullah has blamed the Israeli regime for a blast at a Gaza hospital that killed about 500 Palestinians on Tuesday, saying it was a “shame on humanity” and called on the regime to immediately end its military assault on Gaza.
