Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Speaker of the Lower House of Parliament Atef Tarawneh voiced pride in efforts led by His Majesty King Abdullah II and their impact in confronting the recent unjust US decision on Jerusalem.
During a House session on Sunday, Tarawneh said that the Palestinian issue is a national issue for Jordan and that a solution to it will lead to an end to conflicts in the region.
"It is important for Jordan to examine the possibility of expanding its alliances," he said, adding that this should not mean that its strategic relations with Arab Gulf states will be affected in anyway.
The speaker welcomed the recent UN General Assembly resolution that rejected the US decision on Jerusalem, noting that it is a victory for international legitimacy and the historical rights of the Palestinian people.
