He also restated his country’s position that these two states, Palestine and Israel, should be living in peace with all countries in the region, stressing that such a goal should be based on the two-state solution.

King Abdullah highlighted that Jordan will continue to work towards the just and comprehensive peace that the people of the region seek, in line with international law and the relevant UN resolutions.

Abbas expressed appreciation for Jordan’s steadfast position led by the King, in supporting the Palestinian cause and defending the rights of the Palestinian people.
