The message reiterated that Jordan will continue to devote
all capabilities to support the Palestinian people, and to meet all their
legitimate rights, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
The Palestinian president sent his greetings to His Majesty
King Abdullah, and reaffirmed his appreciation for the continuous efforts led
by the King to support the Palestinian people, their rights and their just
cause.
In joint press statements with his Palestinian counterpart,
Riyad Al-Maliki, after the meeting, Safadi said that his visit to Ramallah was
upon directives by King Abdullah to convey a message to President Mahmoud
Abbas, "that is mainly related to our continuous efforts to coordinate our
movements in order to support the brotherly Palestinian people, and to ensure
finding a real political horizon that takes us towards achieving a just and
comprehensive peace on the basis of the two-state solution, which embodies the
establishment of an independent Palestinian state with occupied Jerusalem as
its capital on the pre-June 4, 1967 borders, as the only way to achieve
peace."
Safadi stressed that "the starting point is that the
status quo cannot continue, there is an impossibility for things to remain in
the stalemate they are, because challenges are exacerbating day by day, and a
real international movement is required to take us towards effective engagement
in the search for a solution to the Palestinian issue, the issue that was and
will remain our first central issue."
He said that the meeting with President Abbas focused on
three main topics, the first of which "is to continue coordinating efforts
to secure the necessary economic support for the Palestinian Authority, as
there are great economic pressures that must be removed, and to open economic
horizons to the brotherly Palestinian people."
