During a meeting held at Lusail Palace in
Doha, King Abdullah warned against the expansion of the cycle of violence into
the region, stressing the importance of communicating with the international
community to emphasize that a military or a security solution will not succeed
in resolving the Palestinian issue, and that what is needed is a political
solution to reach just and comprehensive peace on the basis of the two-state
solution.
At the meeting attended by His Royal
Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, the two leaders stressed the
need for the Palestinians to obtain their legitimate rights and establish their
independent state on the 4 June 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.
His Majesty and the Qatar emir also
stressed the importance of protecting civilians and allowing the uninterrupted
delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, as well as maintaining coordination and
consultation between the two countries in light of the rapid developments.
The King renewed Jordan’s rejection of
attempts to forcibly displace the Palestinians in Gaza or cause their internal
displacement.
His Majesty commended Qatar’s positions
towards the Palestinians, as well as its efforts, under the leadership of
Sheikh Tamim, to coordinate with Arab countries and other stakeholders in
working to stop the war and maintain calm.
Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh, Deputy
Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Director of the Office of His
Majesty Jafar Hassan, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Maj. Gen. Yousef
Huneiti, General Intelligence Department Director Maj. Gen. Ahmad Husni, and
Jordan’s Ambassador to Qatar Zaid Lozi attended the meeting.
From the Qatari side, Prime Minister and
Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Interior
Minister Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, and a number of senior officials
attended the meeting.
