Jordan will not agree to relocate Palestinian people
Jordan's King Abdullah II has rejected attempts to force Palestinians to emigrate from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, stressing the need for the Palestinian people to remain on their land.
According to a statement issued by the Jordanian royal palace, King Abdullah met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at Al-Husseiniya Palace in the capital, Amman.
King Abdullah stressed the need to achieve a just and comprehensive peace based on a two-state solution, and stressed the importance of establishing an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
"Jordan fully supports our Palestinian brothers in achieving their legitimate rights," said Abdullah II, adding that Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands in the occupied West Bank must end.
The King of Jordan has stated that he does not accept the annexation of Palestinian lands and has rejected any attempts to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank.
Stressing that the stability of the Palestinian people must be ensured on their own soil, Abdullah said that Jordan is working closely with friendly and brotherly countries to achieve a comprehensive peace in the face of regional challenges.
King Abdullah II stressed the need to maintain the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and said international efforts should be stepped up to increase humanitarian assistance to Gaza.
He called on the international community to play a more active role in easing tensions in the West Bank and stopping attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
Palestinian President Abbas welcomed Jordan's support for the Palestinian cause, noting Jordan's effective contribution in helping to achieve a sustainable ceasefire.
Abbas cited Jordan's efforts to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, saying it helped alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people amid the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
