HIS Majesty King Hamad has called for a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.
He affirmed the need for finding diplomatic solutions to resolve disputes and conflicts and the utmost importance of remedying the tragic situation in Gaza as he held separate talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi and King Abdullah of Jordan during his visit to the two nations yesterday.
The King urged the United Nations Security Council to take decisive measures to address regional conflicts, which include implementing resolutions on a ceasefire in Gaza and the delivery of humanitarian aid, as he held talks with President Al Sisi at Al Ittihadiya Palace in Cairo.
His Majesty arrived in Egypt after visiting Amman where he reviewed the regional crises with King Abdullah.
The King congratulated President Al Sisi on his re-election for a new presidential term and praised Egypt’s constructive initiatives in leading peace efforts in the Middle East.
His Majesty and President Al Sisi expressed their hopes for a successful Arab Summit to be held in Bahrain on May 16.
The two leaders later addressed a joint Press conference.
In Amman, His Majesty and King Abdullah underscored the importance of protecting civilians caught in the Gaza offensive, ensuring the safe delivery of humanitarian aid, and preventing further escalation of the crisis.
They emphasised their rejection of any actions that lead to escalating war, ground attacks on Rafah, or the displacement of Palestinians from their land.
The leaders reiterated the importance of respecting the historical and legal status of Jerusalem, and to stop Israeli attacks on religious sites. They also condemned the building of Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, which is a violation of international law.
The King underscored the importance of Jordan’s custodianship of the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
King Abdullah praised the efforts of Bahrain in organising the upcoming Arab Summit. The two leaders expressed their confidence in the summit’s success and emphasised the importance of holding Arab summits on a regular basis.
