His Majesty stated on Wednesday that there is no security, peace, or stability without a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution. He emphasized that the recent dangerous escalation and acts of violence and aggression in the Palestinian territories are a clear indication that our region will not enjoy security and stability without achieving a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution.

He reiterated that Palestine remains our compass, and Jerusalem our noble crown. Jordan will not waver in defending their interests and their just cause, allowing our region and all our peoples to enjoy the peace that is a right and necessity for us all.

He further stated that Jordan's position remains steadfast, and will not abandon its role in safeguarding the Islamic and Christian sanctities in Jerusalem, based on the Hashemite custodianship.
