President Biden to host Jordanian King

Jordan’s King Abdullah II and US President Joe Biden are expected to discuss the situation in Gaza when they meet in Washington on Monday.
The two leaders are expected to discuss the ongoing effort to free captives held in Gaza and the growing concern over a possible full Israeli military operation in the port city of Rafah.
It is the first meeting between the allies since three American troops were killed last month in a drone strike against a US base in Jordan.
The meeting with King Abdullah II comes as Biden and his aides are working to broker another pause in Israel's war against Hamas in order to send humanitarian aid and supplies into the region and get hostages out.
