Trump UN envoy Waltz, EU's Kallas in Jordan to discuss Gaza aid

The US ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, and the EU foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, were both visiting Jordan on Sunday to discuss humanitarian aid for Gaza.

Waltz said on X 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 Amman on Sunday, where she held talks with King Abdullah II on the Gaza ceasefire and regional developments, the royal palace said in a statement.

The Jordanian king notably reiterated "the need to adhere to the terms of the agreement to end the war on Gaza and ensure the flow of relief aid", the palace said.
