Jordan’s King Abdullah II, in a phone call with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has called for a comprehensive de-escalation agreement that guarantees the security and sovereignty of Arab states, Al Jazeera reports.

According to a statement released by Amman’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the king stresses the “pivotal role” of the United States in supporting regional stability.

He also points to the outcomes of the latest round of the Aqaba Meetings held recently in France, which aim to mobilise international support for the Lebanese army so it can preserve the country’s security and stability.
