Saudi crown prince, Jordan’s King Abdullah II discuss Gaza crisis

  • Prince Mohammed, King Abdullah also discussed relations between Kingdom and Jordan

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Jordan’s King Abdullah II on Thursday discussed developments in the Middle East and in Gaza over the phone, Jordan News Agency reported.

The crown prince expressed Saudi Arabia’s support for the measures taken by the Jordanian government to maintain Jordan’s security and stability, the Saudi Press Agency reported, and the king expressed his appreciation for Saudi Arabia's supportive stance.

Prince Mohammed and the king spoke about the necessity of finding a political solution to the Palestinian crisis based on the two-state solution, which guarantees the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state along 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital, the Jordanian news agency Petra reported.

The crown prince and King Abdullah also discussed relations between the Kingdom and Jordan. The king expressed to Prince Mohammed “his pride in the level of Jordanian-Saudi relations, and his keenness to consolidate them in all fields,” Petra said.
