During a
phone call with
UN Secretary-General António Guterres, King Abdullah reiterated
that there is no alternative to a political solution that leads to achieving
just and comprehensive peace on the basis of the two-state solution that
guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, on the 4 June
1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, according to a Royal Court
statement.
His
Majesty said he has always warned against the repercussions of Israeli
violations in Jerusalem, especially against Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif,
as well as the illegal measures to expel the families of Sheikh Jarrah
neighbourhood from their homes.
The King
reiterated his warning against altering the historical and legal status quo in
Jerusalem, stressing Jordan’s relentless efforts to safeguard Islamic and
Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, in line with the Hashemite Custodianship.
His
Majesty said the international community must shoulder its responsibilities and
take action to stop Israeli violations, prevent their recurrence, stop the
aggression on Gaza, and push the peace process forward.
The King
also commended Secretary-General Guterres’ efforts to end the Israeli
aggression on the Palestinian territories.
