Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Jordanian King Abdullah II meet in Ramallah in a rare visit by the Jordanian monarch, against the backdrop of rising tensions between Israel and the Palestinians.
In video released by the Jordanian Royal Court, Abbas tells Abdullah that “we and Jordan are one.”
“Our interests, concerns, pain and hope are the same,” Abbas says.
Abdullah tells Abbas that the Jordanians are there to “listen to you and hear from you what is demanded of the Jordanians.”
The monarch adds that both the Israeli and Palestinian sides must cease “unilateral measures” that threaten peace.
“All unilateral measures, especially those in Jerusalem and the Noble Sanctuary, must stop,” Abdullah says referring to the Temple Mount holy site, which houses the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
