President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas highly appreciates the courageous fraternal positions of His Majesty King Abdullah II, King of the sisterly Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

He considered these positions an extension of the firm positions of the Jordanian leadership in support of the just and legitimate national rights of our people, and in adherence to peace based on international legitimacy resolutions, the Arab Peace Initiative, the principle of the two-state solution, the embodiment of the State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital, and the preservation of the historical and legal status of the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem within the framework of the Hashemite guardianship.

The President praised His Majesty the King's announcement to host sick and wounded children from the Gaza Strip for treatment. This is in addition to what the Kingdom is doing in providing humanitarian aid and operating Jordanian field hospitals in Gaza and the West Bank.

President Abbas reiterated the importance of coordinating Arab efforts and positions to adopt the Arab peace vision at the upcoming emergency Arab summit, appreciating the importance of the efforts made by the global coalition to implement the two-state solution and obtain more international recognition for the State of Palestine, and holding the international peace conference in the middle of this year, co-chaired by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and France.

In this context, the President, once again, appreciated the courageous fraternal stances of the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and all sisterly and friendly countries, which rejected projects to displace our people and annex their lands, and stressed that there is no peace or stability except by embodying the Palestinian state, insisting on a complete cessation of war, and immediately starting relief for our people, and the State of Palestine assuming its responsibility in the Gaza Strip, and rebuilding what the occupation destroyed, according to a Palestinian-Egyptian-Arab plan with international support, aiming to rebuild while our people are still on their land.

The President reiterated our people's commitment to remaining on their land in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem, and that Palestine is not for sale.
