Jordanian King Abdullah II warns that there could be a new Palestinian intifada, or uprising.
“We have to be concerned about the next intifada,” Abdullah tells CNN in an excerpt from an interview with the channel.
“And if that happens that’s a complete breakdown of law and order and one that neither the Israelis nor Palestinians will benefit from,” he says.
The clip did not provide the context for the assessment, which comes after a year of spiraling violence in the West Bank and a day before the swearing-in of a hardline Israeli government.
