DUBAI: Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II warned on Wednesday of the dangers posed by unilateral measures taken by the Israeli government, saying they undermine prospects for peace in the region and fuel extremist rhetoric.
In meetings with members of the US Congress, the Crown Prince emphasized the urgent need to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to de-escalate tensions in the West Bank to restore regional stability.
During talks with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman James Risch and committee member Senator Jeanne Shaheen, he highlighted the importance of supporting stability, sovereignty and territorial integrity in Syria and Lebanon.
In a separate meeting with Senator Chris Van Hollen, a member of the Senate Appropriations and Foreign Relations Committees, the Crown Prince highlighted Jordan’s commitment to modernization at home and to restore regional calm.
He reaffirmed Jordan’s determination to continue providing support to the Palestinian people to help alleviate the unprecedented humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
