Addressing the UN General Assembly, Jordan’s King Abdullah II calls for a two-state solution to resolve “the central conflict in my region” between Israel and the Palestinians.
“The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the one conflict that started with the UN’s formation and that continues to fester to this very day, he says. “The only way toward an end to this conflict, the central conflict in my region, is through the two -state solution in accordance with international law and UN resolutions.
“The only way toward a just and lasting peace must lead to an independent, sovereign, and viable Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side-by side with Israel in peace and security.
Adds the king: “We cannot resolve this conflict without working to preserve Jerusalem for all humanity as a unifying city of peace. With the Hashemite Kingdom as custodian, I am bound by a special duty to safeguard Jerusalem’s Islamic and Christian holy sites. But the responsibility for this holy city falls on us all.”

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
