US ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz and European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas were both visiting Jordan on Sunday to discuss humanitarian aid for Gaza.
Their visits came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he expected the second phase of the US-sponsored ceasefire plan for the Palestinian territory to begin soon.
Waltz said on social media that he was in the Jordanian capital Amman to discuss speeding up the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza and “to see the vital work Jordanian and UN partners are doing”.
“We’re ready to move forward with the rebuilding of Gaza … So we’re here to knock down those bureaucratic barriers and get things moving,” he added.
Kallas was also in Jordan on Sunday, where she held talks with King Abdullah on the Gaza ceasefire and regional developments, the royal palace said in a statement.
