His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein emphasised Jordan’s rejection of the displacement of Palestinians and its commitment to the two-state solution, ahead of his visit to Washington to meet with US President Donald Trump on 11 February.

He met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Amman and held a series of phone calls with the Amir of Qatar, the Saudi Crown Prince, the President of the UAE, and the UN Secretary-General to discuss developments related to the Palestinian cause and developments in Gaza.

During his meeting with President Abbas, HM King Abdullah II highlighted the need to halt settlement activities and reject any attempts to annex land or displace Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
