At the meeting, attended by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, His Majesty said the international community must undertake its role to prevent a regional spillover of the conflict.
The King reaffirmed Jordan’s absolute rejection of any attempts to forcibly displace the Palestinians, reoccupy parts of Gaza, establish buffer zones in the Strip, or separate it from the West Bank.
His Majesty said the continued expansion of Israeli operations in Gaza will have devastating humanitarian and security ramifications.
The King warned of the dangerous ramifications of the Israeli attack on Rafah, where nearly 1.5 million have been forced to take shelter after leaving their homes.
Reiterating that military solutions will lead nowhere and that violence only breeds violence, His Majesty said there is no alternative to a political solution to achieve just and comprehensive peace.
The King said the only way to reach peace is through 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, in accordance with international law and relevant UN resolutions.
His Majesty reaffirmed the importance of maintaining support for UNRWA to enable it to provide vital humanitarian services in line with its UN mandate.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Director of the Office of His Majesty Jafar Hassan, and Jordan’s Ambassador to the United States Dina Kawar attended the meeting.
