"We agree on the need for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Jordan an important ally in this effort."According to the Jordan Times:
" During the meeting, held at Al Husseiniya Palace, His Majesty stressed the US role in ending the stalemate in the Palestinian-Israeli peace process and reviving negotiations that should lead to a just and comprehensive solution to the conflict, based on the two-state formula. He asserted that reaching a just deal of a comprehensive peace that includes establishing a Palestinian state will reflect on efforts to achieve peace, security and stability in the region."King Abdullah is whistling in the wind in believing another Arab state could still be established--in addition to Jordan--in the territory comprised in the Mandate for Palestine where Israel presently exercises sovereignty in 17% and Jordan 77%--whilst sovereignty remains undetermined in the last 6% - the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza.
