King Abdullah discussed the Israeli escalations in Jerusalem
in separate phone calls with King Mohammed VI of
Morocco, chairman of Al Quds
Committee; Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas; Egyptian President Abdel Fattah
El-Sisi; Qatar Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani; and Sheikh
Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi and the deputy supreme commander
of the UAE Armed Forces.
Discussions in the phone calls covered the need to maintain
coordination and step up all efforts at the regional and international levels
to cease the Israeli escalation in Jerusalem, end violations against the city,
its holy sites and people, and create political horizons that fulfil the just
rights of the Palestinian people, on the basis of the two-state solution.
His Majesty underscored the importance of stopping all
illegal and provocative Israeli measures in Jerusalem that violate the
historical and legal status quo at Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif and push
towards further escalation.
The King noted that maintaining calm requires Israel to
respect the historical and legal status quo at
Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al
Sharif.
Discussions in the phone calls also covered bilateral ties
and means of bolstering cooperation across all fields.
Speaking with United Nations Secretary-General
António Guterres and European Council President Charles Michel, His Majesty discussed
the latest developments in the Palestinian arena and their negative
repercussions on peace and security regionally and internationally.
The King warned that unilateral Israeli measures in the
Palestinian Territories could compromise the two-state solution and prospects
of comprehensive peace, expressing rejection of attempts to alter the
historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem.
His Majesty reiterated that any attempts seeking the
temporal and spatial division of Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif are
condemned and rejected, noting the need to protect worshippers and refrain from
measures to obstruct access to the mosque or provoke worshippers, especially
during Ramadan.
