LONDON: Jordan’s King Abdullah met separately with Bahrain’s King Hamad and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani on Wednesday to reaffirm the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
King Abdullah’s Gulf tour also included a meeting with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan in Abu Dhabi.
In his meeting with his Bahraini counterpart, King Abdullah expressed concern about the deterioration of the situation in Gaza, and emphasized the importance of ensuring unhindered humanitarian assistance in the territory.
He also highlighted the urgent need for a clear political solution to the Palestinian issue, advocating for a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution.
Both leaders underscored the importance of civilian protection and immediately establishing humanitarian corridors to facilitate the delivery of medical and relief aid to Gaza. They also agreed to maintain close collaboration.
King Hamad lauded Jordan for its role in championing Arab causes, especially the Palestinian issue, and acknowledged King Abdullah’s efforts toward regional peace.
In his talks with Qatar’s emir in Doha, King Abdullah voiced his concern about the potential spread of violence in the region, and asserted that no military or security solution would adequately address the Palestinian issue.
He also reaffirmed Jordan’s opposition to any efforts to forcibly displace Palestinians in Gaza.
Both leaders expressed their desire for Palestinians to achieve their legitimate rights and establish an independent state on the June 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.
King Abdullah commended Qatar’s support for the Palestinians, and its efforts to coordinate with Arab countries and other stakeholders for a ceasefire.
