UAE President, King of Jordan discuss fraternal ties

During the meeting at Qasr Al Shati in Abu Dhabi, His Highness and His Majesty also discussed a number of regional and international issues of concern, with a focus on the situation in the Middle East, including the latest developments in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

The two leaders reiterated their countries’ steadfast position in support of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and underscored the importance of international efforts towards achieving a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution as the only path to lasting stability in the region in the interest of all its nations and peoples.

In this regard, both sides firmly rejected any Israeli plans to annex the West Bank or any part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory or forcibly displace Palestinians from their land, in addition to ongoing settlement expansion. They warned that such measures undermine the two-state solution and pose a threat to regional peace, security, and stability.

The two leaders also expressed their rejection of Israeli statements and positions that constitute a threat to the sovereignty of countries in the region.

His Highness and His Majesty emphasised their shared commitment to continuing close consultation and coordination, especially in light of the evolving regional landscape.
