In a letter to Jafar Hassan, the new Prime Minister of Jordan, King Abdullah II directed the new government to do all it can for the country’s Palestinian neighbours.
“Jordan stands resolutely against the war on Gaza and the violations in the West Bank and Jerusalem,” the Jordanian King wrote.
Jordan has attempted to walk a political tightrope by maintaining diplomatic relations with Israel, since the war on Gaza began.
The stance has angered a significant portion of Jordan’s citizens, many of whom are descendants of the Palestinians forced out of their lands in both the Nakba and the 1967 war.
