Middle East without Palestinian state doomed: Jordanian King
Jordan’s King Abdullah II has said that without a peace process leading to a Palestinian state, the Middle East is “doomed”.
In an interview with the BBC, which aired Monday evening, the monarch emphasised that failing to resolve this issue would lead to the conflict reigniting.
He made these remarks before departing for a summit in Egypt with President Donald Trump, intended to mark the end of the Gaza war.
A declaration was ceremoniously signed at the summit, but it contains no concrete steps beyond the current ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.
Notably, neither of the two warring parties was represented at the summit.
The declaration from Sharm el-Sheikh did not mention a Palestinian state, which has been recognised by more countries in recent months.
It only states that lasting peace in the region will be possible if the security, dignity, and fundamental human rights of both Israelis and Palestinians are protected.
