During talks held via
teleconference with Egypt President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and France President
Emmanuel Macron, King Abdullah stressed the need to put an end to recurring
Israeli violations and provocations, which have led to the current escalation
and exacerbated conditions.
His Majesty noted the importance of
maintaining close coordination and working collectively to stop the violence
and Israeli violations, while protecting the Palestinians, the
Royal Court said
in a statement.
The King noted that Jordan has
intensified its efforts on all levels since the beginning of the current crisis
in order to protect the Palestinians, stop the Israeli violations in Al Aqsa
Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif, and end the attempts to expel the families of Sheikh
Jarrah neighbourhood from their homes, in addition to providing the
Palestinians with medical and relief assistance.
His Majesty said he has always
affirmed the centrality of the Palestinian cause at all international forums,
and has always warned against altering the historical and legal status quo in
Jerusalem and the holy sites.
The King urged galvanising
international efforts to stop the escalations in the Palestinian territories,
and to push towards just and comprehensive peace, on the basis of the two-state
solution that fulfils the just and legitimate rights of the Palestinians,
including establishing their independent, sovereign, and viable state on the 4
June 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
His Majesty said Jordan’s
relentless efforts will continue to safeguard Islamic and Christian holy sites
in Jerusalem—in line with the Hashemite Custodianship—and to work extensively
towards stopping the current escalations.
In addition, the King said Jordan
will maintain coordination with Egypt and France, as well as with other
partners, to end the Israeli violations and restore calm to the Palestinian
territories, while pushing the peace process forward.
His Majesty thanked President
Macron for holding the trilateral talks at such a critical time, commending
President Sisi’s and Egypt’s ongoing efforts to stop the current escalation.
For their part, President Macron
and President Sisi commended Jordan’s role, under the leadership of His
Majesty, in safeguarding Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, in line
with the Hashemite Custodianship, expressing their support for Jordan’s efforts
in this regard.
The two leaders stressed the need
to maintain coordination and consultation among the three countries and with
the international community, to halt escalations and restore calm.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign
Minister Ayman Safadi, and Director of the Office of His Majesty Jafar Hassan
attended the talks on the Jordanian side.
His Majesty King Abdullah on Tuesday continued his intensive efforts and ongoing communication with world leaders and active international stakeholders to stop the dangerous Israeli escalations in the Palestinian Territories.
In a phone call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, King Abdullah said the tragic developments in the Palestinian Territories are a result of recurrent Israeli violations against the Palestinian people, according to a Royal Court statement.
His Majesty stressed that preventing the recurrence of Israeli violations and breaking the cycle of violence require reaching a political solution to the Palestinian issue that leads to achieving just and comprehensive peace, on the basis of the two-state solution.
The King highlighted the significant role of the international community in stopping violence and the dangerous Israeli violations, which have led to the current escalations.
His Majesty also reaffirmed Jordan’s relentless efforts in safeguarding Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, in line with the Hashemite Custodianship.
The King noted the need to maintain coordination and consultation between Jordan and Germany, and with active international stakeholders, calling for stepping up efforts to relaunch effective and serious negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis, in line with international law and relevant UN resolutions.
