In an interview with
Russia Today TV station, the veteran politician said that King Abdullah’s
rejection of the Deal of the Century peace agreement drafted by the
administration of former US president Donald Trump has cost the Kingdom an
“economic siege”.
On the recent plot to
destabilize Jordan, dubbed “the sedition”, Fayez said that the investigation
into the conspiracy, which has seen prominent figures implicated, is still
underway and all results will be shared with the public, including whether
foreign individuals or states were involved in concocting the scheme.
He referred to
speculations that there was interference from former Trump advisor Jared Kushner
and foreign countries, indicating that the investigations will “unveil the
truth about this”.
Fayez, also a former
prime minister and Royal Court chief, pointed out that the West realizes the
importance of stability in Jordan and its impact on the region, noting that
when Trump presented the peace deal through Kushner, Jordan’s position was
clear in rejecting the plan.
He described the
relationship between Trump and the King as “cold”, citing the fact that King
Abdullah was normally in constant contact with the previous US administrations
before Trump, visiting the United States three to four times a year on average,
which was not the case after the Republican president took office.
The King was a “thorn”
in the side of the Trump administration, Fayez told the station.
On Israel, he said it
is in its interest to weaken Jordan.
On Saudi Arabia, he
said that it represents a strategic depth for Jordan, and “we have a strong
fraternal relationship with it; we share the same destiny”.
Responding to a
question about accusations against Saudi Arabia from abroad, he said there may
be some parties that are trying through these accusations to negatively
influence the relations between Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
“I do not accuse
anyone, and I cannot accuse anyone before the investigations are over,” he
concluded.
