King Telephones French President

Amman, July 18 (Petra)-- His Majesty King Abdullah II on Tuesday made a phone call with French President Jacque Chirac and discussed with him the Israeli continuous aggression on Lebanese territories.

The King renewed emphasis on the need to move quickly to end the Israeli aggression against Lebanon and to put an end to military operations which target infrastructure and the innocent civilians.

In this regard, King Abdullah and President Chirac stressed the importance of the immediate cessation of these operations which are victimizing innocents and damaging the Lebanese infrastructure and that would undermine all efforts and opportunities for achieving security and stability in the region.

His Majesty has called upon France to continue playing its active role to mobilize parties on the international scene to assist in the cease-fire and to find an immediate solution to the current crisis based on the language of logic and dialogue, praising efforts of the French government in this regard.
