He stressed that the region will not
enjoy security and stability without reaching a just and comprehensive solution
that guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 4
June 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, according to a
Royal Court
statement.
At a
meeting with Speaker of the House of Representatives Abdul Monem Odat and heads
of a number of House committees at Al Husseiniya Palace, held as part of
ongoing parliamentary outreach, King Abdullah said no country is more
supportive of the Palestinians than Jordan, stressing Jordanians’ unwavering
position.
His Majesty added that he has always warned that failure to
reach a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian cause will lead to
an explosive situation in the region.
The King
noted intensive efforts and continuous communication with various active
international stakeholders to stop the dangerous Israeli escalation and
safeguard Palestinian lives and property, highlighting Arab cooperation and
coordination on various levels, and with the United States and European
countries.
His Majesty pointed to positive messages from the United
States and greater support for efforts to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict, on the basis of the two-state solution.
Moreover,
the King underscored Jordan’s relentless efforts to provide all means of
support for the Palestinians and secure their medical and relief needs, as well
as to continue to bolster the capacities of the Jordanian field hospital in
Gaza and all other clinics in the West Bank.
For his
part, House Speaker Abdul Monem Odat highlighted the King’s continuous calls
over the years to end the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and his warnings that
the absence of a just and comprehensive solution will keep the region in a
cycle of chaos.
Odat noted
the Arab and international consensus on the Hashemite Custodianship of Islamic
and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, which is a confirmation of Jordan’s
active role, led by His Majesty, in safeguarding the holy sites.
The
attendees said Jordan always has the Palestinian cause as a top priority,
highlighting the House’s ongoing support for the steadfastness of the
Palestinian people in the face of Israeli violations.
