AMMAN - His Majesty King Abdullah on Friday met Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and stressed the need to end the war on Gaza.
 
At the meeting, held on the sidelines of the 60th Munich Security Conference, His Majesty called for a lasting truce that leads to a ceasefire in Gaza, commending Qatar’s diplomatic and humanitarian efforts in support of the Palestinians.

His Majesty called for creating a political horizon that leads to a comprehensive, just, and lasting settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the basis of the two-state solution, guaranteeing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 4 June 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Also on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, the King held meetings with Ireland Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

The King also called for protecting civilians and ensuring the unhindered delivery of aid, stressing the importance of maintaining support for UNRWA, which is a lifeline for 2 million Palestinians facing starvation and provides vital services for Palestinian refugees elsewhere in the region.
 
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Director of the Office of His Majesty Jafar Hassan, and Jordan’s Ambassador to Germany Yousef Bataineh attended the meetings.
