Felipe VI's Urgent Visit to Jordan

Published: 2024-10-05

King Felipe VI of Spain embarks on a brief yet significant visit to Jordan amidst escalating regional tensions.

Originally planned as a state visit, the trip has been shortened to just 48 hours due to the ongoing conflicts involving Israel, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

The focus of the visit is on the conditions of Palestinian refugees, with King Felipe set to visit the Baqa’a refugee camp near Amman.

This visit underscores the strong historical ties between the Spanish and Jordanian royal families, a relationship cultivated over decades.

Despite the shortened schedule, the visit aims to reinforce diplomatic relations and address humanitarian concerns in the region.
