King Abdullah II says regional security, stability depend on Palestinians securing their rights
\n Amman
\nJordan\u2019s King Abdullah II said on Monday that Israel\u2019s expansionist ambitions pose the greatest threat to the region\u2019s future, stressing that regional security and stability cannot be achieved without Palestinians securing their rights to their land.
\n\u201cIsraeli expansionist ambitions remain the greatest threat to the region\u2019s future and its hopes,\u201d Abdullah said in a speech to parliament.
\nHe pointed to the continuing humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip and Israeli attacks in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, despite international calls to halt Israeli violations.
\nHe stressed that there could be no security or stability in the region without recognising the Palestinian people\u2019s rights to their land.
\n\u201cThose who believe tyranny grants legitimacy are mistaken, and those who believe time erases the truth are mistaken,\u201d the king said.

\nHe reaffirmed Jordan\u2019s commitment to its principles, Arab identity and defending Arab causes, pledging to maintain that position as his father had before him and his son would after him.
\nThe monarch also stressed that achieving a unified Arab position would remain a priority for Jordan.
\nIsrael has waged a genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023, killing more than 74,000 Palestinians and injuring over 175,000 others, most of them women and children.
\nIsraeli military operations and attacks by illegal occupiers have also intensified in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
