King of Jordan: Stability in the region cannot be achieved without implementing the two-state solution

Jordan's King Abdullah II said on Wednesday that stability in the region can only be achieved by the Palestinian people obtaining their legitimate rights and implementing the two-state solution.


This came during two separate meetings he held in the US Congress, in the presence of his Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah, with the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Senate Majority Leader Senator John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Republican and Democratic members of the Senate, according to a statement from the Jordanian Royal Court.


The court did not specify those included in the first or second meeting, and was satisfied with mentioning them as mentioned above.


The court said that King Abdullah stressed that "stability cannot be achieved in the region without the Palestinian people obtaining their legitimate rights, establishing their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and implementing the two-state solution (Palestinian and Israeli)."


The King of Jordan stressed "the importance of the pivotal role of the United States in supporting peace efforts in the region."


He reiterated "Jordan's position rejecting Israel's attempts to annex lands and displace Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza."


He also called for "the necessity of sustaining the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, and intensifying international efforts for humanitarian response."


On February 4, US President Donald Trump revealed during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House that his country intends to seize Gaza after displacing the Palestinians from it to other countries, including Egypt and Jordan.


In line with Trump's plan, the Israeli government has begun preparing a plan that it claims aims for the "voluntary departure" of Palestinians from Gaza.


Trump's plan for Gaza was widely rejected by Palestinians, Arabs and the international community, while it was met with great praise at the political level in Israel, including various trends.


In this context, the Jordanian monarch warned of "the danger of the ongoing (Israeli) escalation in the West Bank, settlement measures, and attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem," according to the same source.


On Tuesday, the King of Jordan met with Trump at the White House, and confirmed to him his country's rejection of the displacement of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, according to what the King of the Kingdom published via the "X" platform after the meeting.


Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli army and settlers have expanded their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, resulting in the martyrdom of 911 Palestinians, the injury of about 7,000, and the arrest of 14,500 others, according to official Palestinian data.


While Israel, with American support, committed genocide in Gaza between October 7, 2023 and January 19, 2025, leaving about 160,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.
