BRUSSELS, Feb 29 (KUNA) -- Visiting Jordanian Foreign Ministers Nasser
Judeh said Wednesday that in this wake of the Arab awaking, with people
seeking justices and equality and a dignified life, the Palestinian issue
"remains the elephant in the room".
"There is no complete Arab Spring or Arab awakening without peace in the
Middle East. And there will not be peace in the Middle East without a solution
to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict," he told the foreign affairs committee
of the European Parliament here this evening.
"And our position in this regard is very clear and well-known. It is the
two-state solution, whereby the independent variable, contiguous, Palestinian
state is established, along the basis of the 67-lines, and whereby Israel
lives in security and the two of them, Israel and Palestine live in a secure,
stable, prosperous Middle East," he noted.
Commenting on the situation in Syria, Judeh said that as a neighbour
country Jordan is extremely concerned about the killing and the atrocity, and
the blood spilling everyday.
"We are working with the Arab League, with the international community to
try and do something. The end result must be a political solution. We don't
want to have any interference, that will further destabilise the region," he
added. (end)
