His Majesty King Abdullah on Thursday renewed Jordan’s support for Iraq and the anti-Daesh US-led international coalition “until the complete defeat of the terrorist gang”.

In a phone conversation with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi, the two leaders discussed the situation in the aftermath of liberating the Iraqi town of Ramadi, which has been under the control of Daesh since May.

On Monday, Iraqi forces backed by US-led air strikes drove Daesh out of the city centre. The terror group captured Ramadi in May despite months of coalition air strikes, dealing a major blow to Iraqi forces.
