King Abdullah meets Israeli
Foreign Minister Livni
Washington, DC - His Majesty King Abdullah met
with Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni in Washington
on Tuesday to discuss the peace process and the
necessity of its resumption.
King Abdullah stressed the importance of dealing with
the new realities
created by Hamas' victory in the Palestinian elections.
He stated that
Jordan will deal with the new Palestinian government
once it is created, and
that Jordan will continue to support the Palestinian
National Authority
(PNA). He said that Jordan shall remain committed to its
position advocating
the return of both sides to the negotiating table.
His Majesty warned of the danger of abandoning the
Palestinians at this
critical moment. In reiterating the need to respect the
decision of the
Palestinian people, King Abdullah called on the
international community to
continue delivering much needed aid to the Palestinians.
He added that it is
important not to disregard the new government before
reviewing its agenda
first.
