Jordan's King Abdullah II said Israel's expansionist ambitions remain the greatest threat to the region's future and hopes. (AFP pic)AMMAN: Jordan's King Abdullah II on Monday said there would be no security in the Middle East region until the Palestinians' right to a homeland is fulfilled.
"We reiterate, time and again, that there can be no security or stability in our region without upholding the Palestinian people's right to their homeland," he said at the opening of Jordan's parliament.
Jordan neighbours Israel and the occupied West Bank. It has long advocated for a two-state solution, and signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994.
"Despite international calls for an end to Israel's violations, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza continues, as do the relentless attacks in the West Bank and Jerusalem, whilst Israel's expansionist ambitions remain the greatest threat to the region's future and hopes," the king said.
