is a war crime that the world must condemn and denounce, according to a Royal Court statement.

Speaking at the
meeting in London on Sunday, King Abdullah reiterated the importance of opening
humanitarian corridors to allow the passage of urgent medical and relief aid
into the strip, calling for ending the war on Gaza and preventing its
spill-over into the West Bank and its ensuing impact on the stability of the
entire region.
His Majesty again
warned of any attempt to forcibly displace the Palestinians from the entire
Palestinian Territories or cause their internal displacement, which would be a
violation of international law and international humanitarian law, and have
catastrophic ramifications on countries in the region.
The King expressed
Jordan’s rejection of attempts to push the crisis on neighboring countries and
exacerbate the refugee issue, stressing that the international community must
reject inflicting collective punishment on the residents of the Gaza Strip.
His Majesty said the
international community must indiscriminately condemn the targeting of innocent
civilians, in line with shared humanitarian values, international law, and
international humanitarian law.
The King reaffirmed
the importance of building a political horizon to guarantee the prospects of
just and comprehensive peace on the basis of the two-state solution, which
guarantees the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state
on the 4 June 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.
His Majesty called for
safeguarding the historical and legal status quo in Islamic and Christian holy
sites in Jerusalem.
The importance of
maintaining coordination between the two countries on the dangerous
developments in Gaza was also stressed during the meeting.
Deputy Prime Minister
and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Director of the Office of His Majesty Jafar
Hassan, Jordan’s Ambassador to the UK Manar Dabbas, and a number of senior British
officials attended the meeting.
