- Chief diplomats affirm support for independent, sovereign Palestinian state
- Discussions also focus on security, reconstruction of Syria
LONDON: Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on Monday spoke with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan about the latest developments in Syria and the Gaza Strip.
The chief diplomats emphasized the urgent need for adequate humanitarian aid to Gaza and the importance of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that ended 15 months of warfare in the enclave.
Both ministers affirmed their support for an independent and sovereign Palestinian state within the armistice lines of the pre-1967 Middle East war, with East Jerusalem as its capital, the Petra news agency reported.
They said that a two-state solution, with Palestinians and Israelis living peacefully side by side, is the only way to achieve a just and comprehensive peace in the region.
The ministers also discussed the security and reconstruction of Syria after more than a decade of civil war that devastated the country’s economy.
