In a letter sent
to Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the
Palestinian People Cheikh Niang to mark the International Day of Solidarity
with the Palestinian People which falls on November 29, King Abdullah
reaffirmed the Palestinians’ right to self-determination and establishing their
independent, sovereign, and viable state on the June 4, 1967 lines, with East
Jerusalem as its capital, on the basis of the two-state solution and in
accordance with international law and relevant UN resolutions.
His Majesty
warned that undermining the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem would
lead to further escalation, violence, and extremism, adding that Jordan is
committed to continuing coordination with the Palestinian Authority to preserve
the historical and legal status quo, in line with the Hashemite Custodianship
of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
The King said
Jordan will maintain coordination with regional and international partners to
push towards the two-state solution by working to relaunch effective
negotiations that lead to just and comprehensive peace and protect the rights
of the Palestinians.
In the letter,
His Majesty noted that prosperity and sustainable growth cannot be achieved
without a comprehensive approach that engages the Palestinians in economic and
regional projects, according to a Royal Court statement.
The King stressed
the need for the international community to support UNRWA to sustain its role
in providing education and healthcare services for Palestinian refugees,
especially children, in accordance with its UN mandate.
His Majesty also
commended the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the
Palestinian People for its efforts in advocating for the rights of the
Palestinians.
