In the letter, King Abdullah reiterated Jordan’s unwavering
position in support of the just and legitimate rights of the Palestinians,
especially their right to self-determination and establishing their
independent, sovereign, and viable state on the June 4, 1967 lines, with East
Jerusalem as its capital, on the basis of the two-state solution and in
accordance with international law and relevant UN resolutions.
His Majesty said Jordan will continue its efforts to
safeguard Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, under the Hashemite
Custodianship, while supporting the steadfastness of Jerusalemites and
preserving the historical and legal status quo in the holy city.
There can be no peace in the region as long as the
occupation continues, the King noted, stressing the need to step up efforts to
break the stalemate in the peace process and support measures to rebuild trust
and prevent escalations and any violations that could undermine peace
prospects, such as illegal Israeli settlement activities, the appropriation of
land, the demolition of homes, and the expulsion of Palestinians from their
homes.
His Majesty said the international community must support
the Palestinian Authority to enable it to undertake its duties and
responsibilities towards the Palestinian people and to support the prospects of
peace.
The King stressed the importance of providing all means of
support to sustain the work of
UNRWA, in accordance with its
UN mandate, until
a just and comprehensive solution that addresses all final status issues is
reached, safeguarding Palestinian rights in line with UN resolutions, foremost
of which is Resolution 194, and ensuring the right of return and compensation
to Palestinian refugees.
Also in the letter, His Majesty expressed appreciation of
the committee’s efforts in defense of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian
people.
