Jordan’s Abdullah warns US no solution to ‘Palestinian cause’ will fuel violence

Jordan’s King Abdullah II warns the Trump administration that failure to resolve the Palestinian issue will spur violent unrest in the Middle East.

“The King stressed that failure to reach a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian cause will fuel further extremism and violence in the Middle East,” the readout from the meeting says.

Abdullah’s warning comes as the White House delegation tasked with resolving Israeli-Palestinian peace is preparing to ramp up its attempts to renew negotiations between the sides.

Separately this week, the Jordanian king met separately with US Vice President Mike Pence and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster.
