Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJordan’s royal court releases its own statement on today’s phone call between King Abdullah II and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, saying the Jordanian leader wished to “prevent any tension or escalation in the Palestinian territories.”
“During the call, His Majesty stressed the need to stop any actions that might cause violence, aggravate the conflict and subvert the chances of achieving peace,” the statement says.
