LONDON, March 22 (Xinhua) -- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed the Arab Plan for Gaza during a phone call on Saturday morning with King Abdullah II of Jordan, according to a readout from Downing Street.

According to the readout, Starmer thanked the King for Jordan's leadership and efforts toward achieving a political solution and commended Jordan and its regional partners for their work in developing the plan for Gaza.

The prime minister also expressed deep concern over renewed Israeli military action and the ongoing lack of humanitarian aid in Gaza. During the call, Starmer reaffirmed that Britain remains a strong partner to Jordan.

On March 4, Arab leaders approved an Egyptian reconstruction plan for Gaza, which is estimated to cost 53 billion U.S. dollars and aims to avoid displacing Palestinians from the enclave. Enditem
