close Arab coordination and uniting efforts to prevent the deterioration of the
situation in Gaza.

National Authority as the representative of the Palestinian people.

the Palestinian cause and the just and legitimate rights of the Palestinian
people, stressing commitment to safeguarding Islamic and Christian holy sites
in Jerusalem under the Hashemite Custodianship.
The King reiterated that the region cannot enjoy peace nor
stability without just and comprehensive peace on the basis of the two-state
solution, which guarantees the establishment of an independent, sovereign
Palestinian state on the 4 June 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.
President Abbas thanked His Majesty for his firm position in
support of the Palestinian people and their just cause.
The Palestinian president reiterated the importance of having
