Jordan‘s King Abdullah II received a phone call from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in what officials said was the first such communication since the start of the conflict in Syria a decade ago.
The conversation, announced by the royal palace on Sunday, was the latest step in a recent normalisation of ties between leaders who had long been on opposing sides in Syria’s civil war, with Jordan supporting Syrian Western-backed mainstream rebels seeking to drive Assad from power.
