(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN - The Six-Party Consultative Ministerial Meeting with the US on Monday convened in Riyadh to discuss the latest developments of the Israeli war on Gaza.

The meeting, attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, went over efforts to reach an immediate and permanent ceasefire and stop the war in a way that guarantees the protection of civilians as per the international humanitarian law, according to a Foreign Ministry statement.

The discussions also reviewed the necessary mechanisms to lift all restrictions that hinder the delivery of humanitarian assistance to all conflict zones in a way that prevents the exacerbation of the humanitarian crisis in the besieged strip.

The meeting was chaired by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal Bin Farhan and attended by Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukri.
