The latest efforts of Biden and King Abdullah
As we mentioned, Biden’s hot and sensitive Monday began with his conversation with Jordan’s King Abdullah. According to the formal and official statement, their discussion focused on the Middle East crisis and Biden’s appreciation of the Jordanian king’s efforts in this regard.
Biden also congratulated the birth of the Jordanian Crown Prince’s child, which naturally helped to soften the atmosphere in these critical conditions. After interacting with King Abdullah and assessing Iran’s position, which has been conveyed through Jordan, Biden will hold a key meeting with his national security team and heads of security organizations under his command. It is after this meeting that he will need to decide on the main steps in the new Middle East equations. General Kurilla, the CENTCOM commander, is in the occupied territories and is awaiting Biden’s decision.
