His Majesty King Abdullah II is participating in a multilateral meeting at the invitation of US President Donald Trump and with the participation of leaders of Arab and Islamic countries, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings.
His Majesty King Abdullah II confirmed, on Tuesday, that the world is living an exceptional moment where crises and challenges are accelerating, emphasizing that what the international community chooses to pay attention to determines the fate of conflicts and humanitarian crises, and warning that what we neglect today will often shape our future.
His Majesty said, in a speech delivered during the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, that the continuation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict without a solution for decades was a result of the international community choosing to contain the conflict instead of addressing it, affirming that what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank cannot be treated as separate events.
The King emphasized that what is happening in Gaza can no longer be considered as 'temporary military measures or consequences of war,' while the West Bank, according to His Majesty, is witnessing a radical transformation represented by the expansion of settler violence, land seizures, settlement expansion, and the displacement of Palestinians, stressing that Gaza and the West Bank are 'two sides of the same Israeli strategy.'
