Ammon News - Jordan and Hungary's foreign ministers Wednesday held a meeting in Amman to discuss regional and international developments, as well as bilateral cooperation. It highlighted regional developments, not the least of which is the Palestinian conflict, as Ayman Safadi, Jordan's foreign minister, informed his counterpart on the efforts of Jordan, the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the international community to reinvigorate peace talks based on the two-state solution. Safadi highlighted the importance of pooling efforts to stop measures that would undermine the two-state solution, chief of which is the expansion of illegal settlements across the occupied Palestinian West Bank and the expropriation of lands. He stressed that the legal status quo in the occupied city of Jerusalem and the city's religious sites must be respected, adding that it is a priority to His Majesty King Abdullah II. He also highlighted Jordan's role in supporting UNRWA and the outcomes of the International Ministerial Meeting to Support UNRWA that was held in Brussels, Belgium. On the refugees' issue, Safadi said, in a joint press conference following the meeting, "The international community must continue providing support for refugees... the refugees' issue is an international issue and cannot be solely the responsibility of host countries. "We hold high all the support that our partners and friends have offered, especially the European Union, to help us grapple with this burden." Safadi raised his concerns over dwindling international support for the refugees which will impact their lives and future. He said, "We must sound the alarm." |
