Jordan's King Abdullah II and Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El Sisi affirmed, during a phone call Tuesday, close coordination regarding various developments in the region, most notably the Palestinian issue.
The two sides reiterated their support for the Palestinian people in achieving their legitimate rights and establishing their independent sovereign state on the lines of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the two-state solution.
They also stressed the need to intensify Arab and international efforts to consolidate the ceasefire in Gaza, as it is the first step towards calming the situation in the region.
The call also touched on the situation in Syria and Lebanon.
AFP adds: Egypt and Jordan, both key US allies, have been under pressure to accept a proposal by US President Donald Trump to "clean out" the Gaza Strip by sending Palestinians to their territories.
Cairo and Amman have issued repeated strong rejections, while making overtures to their Washington ally.
King Abdullah on Sunday accepted an invitation to visit the White House later this month, a day after Sisi and Trump exchanged mutual invitations for state visits.
Sisi had told Trump the world was "counting on" him for a "permanent and historic peace agreement" to end the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, calling him a "man of peace".
Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have also voiced opposition to any forced displacement of Palestinians, while stressing the need to implement a two-state solution to the protracted conflict.
Jordan's foreign minister Ayman Safadi had said "any discussion of an alternate homeland... is rejected", while Cairo has repeatedly called the issue a "red line" that would threaten its national security.
Five Arab foreign ministers and a senior Palestinian official sent a joint letter to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday opposing the idea of displacing Palestinians from Gaza. It was signed by Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, as well as the Palestinian Authority.
