JORDAN'S KING Urges Launching of Serious Palestinian Israeli Peace Talks

18 Dec 2018

Jordan - Jordan's King Abdullah II on Tuesday met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and stressed the need to break the stalemate in the peace process through launching serious and effective peace talks between the Palestinians and Israelis.

The King reiterated that negotiations should be based on a two-state solution leading to the establishment of a Palestinian state on the June, 1967, lines with East Quds as its capital.

During the talks, which were held at the Basman Palace, King Abdullah stressed Jordan's rejection of unilateral Israeli actions, including building settlement units and expropriation of Palestinian-owned lands in the occupied West Bank, which are a real obstacle to achieving just and lasting peace according to the two-state solution.

King Abdullah also called on the international community to take its responsibility toward the Israeli escalation and lobby Israel to cease such practices that will only breed more violence.

King Abdullah also reiterated that Jordan stands with all its capabilities with the Palestinian brothers to restore their legitimate and just rights, and will pursue its endeavours with influential parties and the international community to find a political horizon "that serves Palestinian interests and the rights of the Palestinian people".

During the talks, emphasis was put on maintaining bilateral coordination and consultation on the latest developments concerning the Palestinian issue.

Furthermore, King Abdullah underscored the importance of maintaining the status quo in Quds as the key to achieving peace in the region, stressing that Jordan continues to carry out its historic and religious role of safeguarding Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem in line with the Hashemite Custodianship over these shrines.

The Palestinian President, for his part, commended the Kingdom's stance towards the Palestinians, their cause, and their legitimate rights. --Petra News Agency
