President Joe Biden is set to meet with Jordan's King Abdullah II at the White House on Monday, as efforts for a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in Gaza continue to stall.
Hamas has demanded an end to the conflict in exchange for releasing hostages, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected this proposal.
Hamas also attacked the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza, resulting in the deaths of three Israeli soldiers.
The meeting between Biden and King Abdullah is described as an informal private meeting, and comes as the Biden administration and Israeli officials disagree over Israel's planned military incursion in Rafah.
President Biden met with Jordan's King Abdullah at the White House in February to discuss various challenges, including the potential for a Israeli ground offensive in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis among Palestinian civilians.
Jordan, along with other Arab states, has been critical of Israel's actions and has called for a ceasefire since mid-October due to rising civilian casualties.
The conflict began when Hamas carried out a cross-border raid on October 7, resulting in over 1,200 deaths and 252 hostages taken, according to Israeli estimates.
Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on April 28 and reiterated his opposition to a possible invasion of Rafah, the White House stated.
The US President,
Joe Biden, has urged Israel not to launch a ground offensive in Rafah without ensuring the safety of Palestinian civilians.
This comes as protests in support of Palestinians erupt on US college campuses, putting pressure on Biden to intervene.
Last week, Biden spoke about the campus unrest regarding the war in Gaza but maintained that it did not influence his Middle Eastern policies.
