Ammon News - The Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, will travel to Jordan for the first time since his appointment as Foreign Minister, alongside the Minister for the Middle East Lord Ahmad, the foreign office said on Wednesday.

Cameron, on his second visit to the region, will travel with Britain's Minister of State for the Middle East Tariq Ahmad and "progress efforts to secure the release of all hostages, step up aid to Gaza and end Hamas rocket attacks and threats against Israel."

David Cameron will discuss in Jordan the urgent need for a sustainable ceasefire involving the release of hostages and an end to rocket fire into Israel.

Cameron also will visit Al Arish, near the Egypt-Gaza border to see first-hand the lifesaving UK aid which is being sent to Gaza.

In Jordan, the Foreign Secretary will meet Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and visit the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organisation, which has become the focal point of Jordanian humanitarian support for Gaza.
