In a phone call he received from US Vice President Kamala
Harris, King Abdullah urged galvanising international efforts to protect the
Palestinians, end the illegal measures to expel the families of Sheikh Jarrah
neighbourhood from their homes, and stop provocative Israeli violations and
measures in East Jerusalem and Al Aqsa Mosque, which caused the current
escalations and are pushing the region towards further tension.
His Majesty called for stepping up efforts and working
together to push the peace process forward.
The King said he has always warned against the continuation
of Israel’s unilateral measures, especially in Jerusalem, and against attempts
to alter the historical and legal status quo of the city and its holy sites.
His Majesty reaffirmed that Jordan will persist in efforts
to safeguard Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, in line with the
Hashemite Custodianship.
The call also covered the ties of friendship and strategic
partnership between the two countries and means to bolster them, with the King
expressing appreciation of the United States’ ongoing support for
Jordan in
several sectors.
For her part, Vice President Harris commended Jordan’s
efforts to bolster stability in the region, stressing the United States’
continued support for the Kingdom across various sectors, especially in
development.
